He’s also kept the state afloat economically through federal funding. Things are already starting to get bad for the poorest Vermonters, with the rental money running out

Yeah, I'm not saying he hasn't done good things. Almost all politicians do some good and some bad things in their careers.
But trying to prevent the entire internet from having user-generated content is one of the worst laws conceived, and probably the one that has the most wide-spread impact across so many people. Again, I have to re-iterate:
Under Patrick Leahy's proposed law, the following would be removed from the internet:
-Wikipedia
-All social media. Facebook, Twitter, etc
-All video sharing sites. Youtube, Tiktok, etc
-All Image sharing sites. Instagram, Imgur, etc.
-Any sites for users sell things. Ebay, Craigslist, etc. Amazon would only be things sold directly from amazon, no more third party sales.
And again, the REASON he tried to stifle the sharing of knowledge across the world was in order to protect the wealth of Billionaires.
