Probably at the point where elected officials start to care. They won't care until their voters care, and most voters don't seem to care about or understand the issue here since it does not affect most of them in any meaningful/measurable way.

I think they care. A majority of the country did not want NN to be repealed but it was. The problem is their vote means little and understandably, many tune out and don't vote or choose between lesser of two evils.

A majority of the country has no idea what new neutrality is nor do they care. The only way you get to polls indicating a preference either way is by describing the regulations to the recipient first.

I dunno, despite the supposed popularity of repealing the Affordable Care Act, the GOP, having control of all parts of the legislative process, couldn't get it done.
