The problem is that the Republicans trying to declare tech companies "common carriers" pretty much lied through their teeth 4 years ago when they argued that ISPs are absolutely not common carriers, in opposition of overwhelming popular opinion to the contrary.

ISPs aren’t censoring people, Big Tech is, and BigTech were always exempt from all net neutrality laws.

So your comment is factually wrong.

Am I "censoring people" if I ask a customer to leave my restaurant and never return while he is in the middle of a loud racist rant?

Facebook and Twitter are not critical infrastructure. Nobody has to use them. They are private platforms their owners invited you to. I choose not to use these services, and anyone else who doesn't like them is free to do the same.

People do not have the choice to avoid using telephone or mail services, which is why they are regulated as common carriers. It is nearly impossible to function in modern society without access to mail and telephone service. The argument for net neutrality rests on the idea that general internet access is also a requirement in order to be a functional member of society.

Yes, the problem is Republicans. And yes, that problem has yet to be solved.

Republicans are a problem, but so are Democrats. We need more than two parties.

It’s kind of analogous to the way TCP can be a reliable service built on unreliable IP.
