I believe in “net neutrality” in abstract, in the sense that Comcast Xfinity should not be allowed to technically kneecap its competition from Netflix.

But that’s not what the Democrats are proposing either.

I don't trust the Democrats, and getting Congress involved creates a slippery slope to worse regulation. However, the original FCC net neutrality rules did block Comcast from kneecapping Netfix, and that's probably was an OK thing.

My real point is this is a dumb hill for Republicans to die defending. At worst, net neutrality has mixed outcomes.

I am in favor of making sure that nobody can be denied an internet connection because they host a website or say things that are not PC. Now that so many have been deplatformed and demonetized, pulling the plug would be the last step in silencing them completely. I seriously doubt that anything the Dens would come up with would prevent that.
