2. Why should they help DEMS when the Rethugs are trying to kill USPS and clear away their competition?

The USPS is an honestly profitable government agency and does a great job. Of course, any model of government efficiency goes against the Reich Wing narrative, so it has to go. Until they mandated the USPS lock up huge amounts for future retirement, they had a surplus. They were doing fine without all the top down government interference. Yet my brother-in-law who works for USPS probably has some way to blame DEMS for his predicament.

I am surrounded by idiots, so I come to DU for fresh perspective.
