This is why getting laws passed, instead of relying on executive orders and the whims of bureaucrats in power at the time, is so crucial.

The same faction that opposes net neutrality in the FCC also controls both Houses of Congress plus the White House, in fact, the change in the latter that completes that control is why they control the FCC, not an unrelated independent event. So laws would be no less vulnerable than FCC regulations.

Having people who are competent at their job in regulatory positions seems just as important as having Congress do their job for them.

That's not going to happen as long as there are at least 40 Republicans in the senate. They used a filibuster to block a moderate Supreme Court nominee, you think they'll even consider allowing an internet reform bill to come to a vote?
Compromise. Something that neither of the two major parties seem interested in anymore. It is that, not the allocation of seats to a party in Congress, which is why things haven't gotten done.
