    In my minds eye they're more of a specialty vendor I guess. I hadn't really thought about it that way.

    Why make a commitment and vote early ? Your elderly at-risk candidate might die before Election Day .
    Then what ? Vote yesterday for the dead guy ... William Shakespeare .

    Nobody who loves our country could vote for Trump, unless you have some kind of perverted idea of what it means to love our country. Some people believe that our military and unfettered access to firearms are what make our country great, which is sick. Our Constitution and our democracy are what make our country great, and Trump is doing everything he can to subvert both of them.

    While Biden is leading in the latest poll 50% to 41%.Trumps base of support hasn’t wavered in 3 ¾ years and there’s no reason to believe it will.

    Russian collusion, impeachment, overt racism, the abandonment of the Kurds, The Russian Bountygate scandal, Mexico is going to pay for the wall,
    Government officials in violations of the hatch act of 1939, The Current USPS Scandal, The President in violation of the emolument clause on numerous occasions,
    Trumps disastrous handling of the coronavirus pandemic, and 20,000 lies later……….and they still support that canary-haired, orange-faced, baboon - go figure.

    I do not mean to be 'right' . I recommend USA citizens vote on or near election day in November
    so to receive election results at that the end of that day . Yes , this view Trump has expressed .
    I think it is intuitive re: tradition and civic ritual . Why fuk it now ? That's porno . And a porno
    aspect is virtual reality .

    Trump's supporters feel threatened by minorities and immigrants. They fear liberals are out to turn America communist. They believe Barack Obama was a terrible president and that Trump is trying to fix the damage done to this country by the previous administration. If you present them with facts which prove them wrong they brush it off, calling it fake news or fake statistics.

    Trump knows how to play off their fears to garner their support. His fear mongering strikes a chord with them. They don't want facts they want a charismatic leader who tells them what they want to hear. Say what you will about Trump but he's not boring, and that goes a long way. All too often a candidate who's qualified but dull loses to someone who's unqualified but engaging. If we point out that Trump has failed to deliver on what he promised them, they blame us for impeding it.

    When Trump tells them that vote by mail will rig the election, they believe him. So unless he loses by a landslide he will claim it was rigged and may refuse to leave the white house. While I wouldn't mind seeing him led away in handcuffs, I wouldn't want to see the army having to fight past his armed supporters occupying the white house lawn.

    Even though snail mail letters have been replaced by email long ago. Postage service has actually skyrocketed in recent years with the rising popularity in online ordering. Yet these fools who run the post office can’t figure out how to break even. Why? It’s simple: they don’t think the way private businesses do. No public entity does. All they know how to do is syphon money from the government.

    It was a right wing stich up the same way the defunding of the NHS is a right ewing stich up

    You first cripple a successful public service so that if can’t do its job properly then you claim that the only remedy is to privatise it

    Then you sell it off to your friends - crony capitalism 101

    Nothing more classic than the honduran caravans, remember them?

    None of you have still worked out how and why they stopped

    Mexico didnt pay for the wall, but they sure as hell did pay their soldiers to stop them crossing over their southern border

    What do Mexico get in return?

    The wall was always a red herring

    Sorry this isn't 2016 with Hillary Clinton so unless you demonize Joe Biden you've already lost the election, Next.

    They hand off their mail to USPS to get to all the right wing rural areas. The rural areas on their own are not enough of a market to be worth anything. It's only because so many in the city mail more USPS goes out there when they have the chance.

    The private sector can not serve America in your example.

    Not really in my experience

    Any person who truly supported freedom would support the USPS simple for it's legal protections with mail. Private companies don't allow privacy.

    No one can explain how the cheating will occur either. That's the important part of supporting fascist Trump. Your enemy is both all powerful and entirely weak. Only he can save you from them. The entire country got together and deiced they hated freedom so much they will cheat you the minority Trump voter. The only way this can be done is by the mail because of course the Trump voter is a "silent majority" and any polls or data saying otherwise is another example of lies that only the leader can save them from.
    We hate Trump so much we have to lie about his greatness because god himself has sent him to lead me to salvation. We also made up a virus so that people would have to be cheated by mail in voting. The all powerful enemy brought it from China and Mexico because they hate freedom.

    Trump is heaven sent messiah will save them from those Muslims who want to die for their messiah. What a bunch of weirdos they are. If Jesus said close down the USPS you do it.

    If people in rural areas need a shipping service, the market will fill the void.

    Government does nothing more than put a damper on entrepreneurship, innovation, and incentive.

    It's a big mistake messing around with the USPS, it’s as American as Baseball, Hot-dogs, and Apple Pie.
