So there are now widespread reports that the lackey Trump just installed as postmaster general is purging leadership of competent managers, instituting policies requiring mail to be held back and delayed, and now sorting machines are being pulled from post offices to slow things down even more.

And we all know why. We're in a pandemic and voting by mail is more necessary than ever. And Trump wants to be able to declare the postal service can't handle it so he can cast further doubt on the election outcome.

It's literally sabotaging the election right out in the open.

Aaaaand, Trump went on Fox today and openly admitted he is sabotaging the post office to sabotage mail in voting capability.

In a pandemic.

Where in person voting could literally kill people.

Does the term "Banana Republic" apply here?

I understand that many Vets are already being effected by delays in delivery of medicines?

Take your absentee ballot, fill it out, and drop it off at the drive up polling station. Been doing it this way for 20+ years and never had a problem. You even get a sticker that says "I Voted"

Be sensible and do not believe everything you read or listen to that comes out of mainstream media.

It's literally what he said. And who does killing the post office serve anyway? What other organization has to pre-fund 50 years of retirement and healthcare?

Stop supporting a fascist wannabe dictator.

Interesting worldview you got there. Perhaps you should question what is happening to others than just think everything is hunky-dory because you don't have any problems.

You still need the mail to get your ballot.
