    No one, outside Libertarian crackpots and parasites, truly wants to privatize the PO.

    I guess it's up to the people to fully stand up for that privilege, but that article is operating with that underlying frame.

    I'm fine with Democrats being alarmist for the public to react to more of their services being stolen from under them and drained out.

    After a while though, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

    And, why would you do it less than two months before early voting starts for the November election? Good luck installing the newer models in such a short timeframe.

    I wish someone could just answer the simple question of why they are being removed. Are they selling them? I mean we were doing good without any of these changes. Now it really is snail mail...

    Dems know mail-in voting is going to be a disaster and are just prepping the battlefield for conspiracy theories when it happens.

    Of course... that clears both because there are no such thing as emails, or memos, or intermediaries that could talked to dejoy... and ignoring trump came out and said it publicly.

    Mail in voting is such a disaster that trump, his wife, his family, members of his cabinet all vote by mail. And conspiracy? trump out and out said if people vote by mail republicans including trump himself will lose.

    It will only be a disaster if those in charge are successful in making it one. Had the postal service not been tampered with it would have been fine. The USPS handles all of the income tax filings and certainly, the government would not be okay with something that might hamper them collecting our tax dollars.

    Of course, some states have had mail-voting for years and have had no problems with it at all.

    San Antonio postal union leader describes mass delays, says Postal Service hid backlogged mail from congressman
    The union leader said tens of thousands of pieces of mail were carted away ahead of U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro’s visit. The office's delays have been exacerbated by employees missing because of COVID-19 concerns.

    That’s more insane than defunding and privatizing the police

    LOL. You actually think that's the truth? LOL. 20,000+ lies from Trump. You don't think he would lie for Trump? However, there are OTHER ways to get instructions.
