what does it have to do with this site?

Same question.

I don't think it really matters.
If we get rid of it and ISPs start treating traffic to some sites different than others, we can always voluntarily chose to purchase a plan from a more neutral ISP

Don't be picky. Having both of them fight it is a good thing.

If there was more competition in the ISP business, then i would be against it. It would be cheaper to tailor make plans for individuals But because there are only a handful of ISP's in the country, and any given area is limited to 2-3 choices, Its a bad idea. Collusion between companies could hurt consumers and allow them to push agendas.

In theory net neutrality is good, in practice the FTC should be handling consumer protection, not the FCC.

Not in the US, we can't. There are only a few ISPs and they control entire regions of the country.

Well, even still, I don't think it'd be a particularly good idea for any ISP to forgo neutrality because it could potentially lose them customers, and because it may also open them to getting sued by website owners they treat badly

Wrong, the reality is that internet access is not unlimited and forcing ISPs to distribute it in a particular way is is not desirable.

NO
