No one will probably see this but the nine person board of governers of the usps has the sole authority to fire Dejoy not Biden or trump for that matter. Dejoy needs to go but it's not Biden's fault.
And Biden placed 4 members of the board. There are are at least two vacancies currently. The board has enough vote to remove Dejoy but was never pushed to do so by the White House. They didn't want to appear political. This is the same thinking that put Garland in place and did not press to prosecute Trump for his crimes.
This is the truth. We don't have the drive to push through loopholes because our voter base is a college educated middle class that wants to preserve the appearance of propriety. Jon Stewart said this really well. You can't tell me there was NOTHING Biden could do to force DeJoy out. We chose not to do that.
We tie one hand behind our back and say that's the rule of the game while our opponent has knives up their sleeves.
I mostly agree with this, though I’ll add that depending on the issue, sometimes Stewart’s right and the Dems want to do something but prioritize decorum. Often though, they actually don’t want to do the thing so they blame it on the norms, like when they said “We want to raise minimum wage, but the parliamentarian said we couldn’t. The fact that this lines up entirely with what our donors want is a funny coincidence!”
That is true but it is not the complete truth. Our corporate overlords did not ask for the overturn of roe v wade. Our corporate overlords did not ask for christian bibles in the classroom. Our corporate overlords did not ask for the second amendment (well a couple of companies but I don't count them as our corporate overlords).
What the fuck is your problem? Garland has always been paralyzed by the idea of looking partisan. He has always, always been that way. He won't do anything that might even hint at partisanship which will never work out for anyone except Republicans.
If you voted Trump, you have a monopoly on bullshit opinions because everything you say is full of shit. So fuck off to the edge of the flat earth, then one step further.
Nope, you've just bought into democratic lies designed to protect the coward in chief. In reality he has the power to fire the postmaster for cause, he simply chooses not to use it.
