In reply to the discussion: Senate Democrats Make First Move To Block DeJoy From Gutting USPS [View all]quakerboy
(13,918 posts)And we need the post office. the post office is important, and if used properly could be one of the strongest options in our toolchest to help this country thrive.
Its no accident the right has been targeting the USPS for ages. And its no accident that they sent someone with a conflict of interest to destroy it from the inside.
As for the board.. If memory serves, there are 6 current members, and Biden has three new inbound. Its also my understanding that all 6 of the current members, including the "democrats" recently voted to support Dejoy. 6 vs 3 is not math thats in our favor, even once Bidens picks are in place.
Additionally, and I could be wrong about this, but I dont believe Biden has ever clearly stated he wants dejoy gone.
I'd like to see the current board members who supported the intentional failure that Dejoy is causing removed. I understand that they can only be removed for cause. 4 years ago, the mail ran on time or faster, reliably. Now.. it does not. Thats not a track record of success, nor something that can be tolerated long. Everyone is noticing the USPS is not functioning, and that noticing will soon turn people sour on the whole thing if its not soon fixed. Much more patience.. and we will lose.
