It is unlikely that both candidates will be opposed to NN. NN is part of the Democratic Party platform agreed upon at the 2016 Democratic National Convention: page 9 of http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/papers_pdf/117717.pdf
However, there are a few Democrats who have voted against NN in the past, or have indicated that they do not support it.
If you live in their districts, call up their office and tell them that you want them to change their tune on NN. Go to their town halls and tell them there.
Again, if you live in their states (MI, MO, MT, or WV) call them up and tell their staffers that you want them to change their mind on NN and tell them why. Go to their town halls and tell them there.
Bemoaning your elected officials' choices without ever trying to influence them will not change anything.
