Why is the USPS losing funding? What’s wrong with mail in voting?
-
2020-08-14 at 10:45 PM UTCWhy would a president want to make it difficult for voters to vote in a general election? I truly don’t understand this. I’d think any candidate would want all the possible votes they can get🤷♀️
Our POTUS has admitted to intentionally holding back funding so the post office can’t support mail in voting.Trump, a longtime USPS critic who has falsely claimed mail-in voting will lead to voter fraud despite a lack of evidence, said Thursday that he’s holding up a stimulus deal over Democratic demands for funding to USPS and for mail-in voting, saying Democrats “need that money in order to make the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots.”
A lack of funding for USPS and mail-in voting, Trump said, “means you can’t have universal mail-in voting because they’re not equipped to have it.”

The USPS is as American as apple pie. Hell, it’s written into our constitution, but trump is trying to drive it into the ground and admits it. They already lost funding for OT, and mail is running behind by 2-3 days in many areas.
The claims that mail in voting is unreliable, or easily corrupted, are exactly that, just claims, there is absolutely no evidence to prove mail in voting doesn’t work. It has been working well in many states for years. Of course there’s always an exception of some small time scheme, but never anything on a grand enough scale to change an election result.

trumps peeps are suing in Pennsylvania to stop mail in voting. A federal judge gave trumps peeps till today to prove mail in voting is fraudulent.

I don’t know if they produced proof or not, I don’t see anything.
And of course the reason the American public want mail in balloting......Covid. Why would a pres want people to risk their live to perform their civic duty? Many of his voters are elderly, what is he thinking?
Wow I think that’s the longest opening I’ve ever written.

because theres no way to guarantee the votes that ended up in the ballot boxes are the same that was sent from voters in their houses.

2020-08-14 at 11:15 PM UTCMy thoughts are that, as usual OP's posts are so sleazy and dishonest you can scrape the slime off your computer monitor.
Having to exercise some basic agency to vote suits Republicans of course. Everyone knows that old white people actually turn out to vote disproportionately. So it's just politics to want to discourage mail-in voting.
It's especially interesting to see Forbes abandon all pretense of objectivity. At least they're being honest.
Yet imagine accusing someone like Spectral of being nuts, when you believe the sort of shit OP does?

2020-08-14 at 11:24 PM UTCYou haven’t a clue what you’re talking about. Trump openly admitted to it. Can’t you read?
Now I’m posing some questions, care to add to the conversation?
What you don’t know, of course, is he’s been derailing our postal service for the past couple of months. You don’t see any repubs in here defending his actions. -

Maybe he has. But I need to see video before I believe anything. Your side has lost all credibility with me. -

Thanks for sharing that. Trump is such a great bullshitter, just listening to him will raise your verbal IQ.
You could learn a lot from him. Your OP is such an incoherent, unconvincing mess that I can barely even tell what it's about. -

Ok Don,
I’ll bite since you didn’t insult me for once and actually added to the discussion. Now prove your point. You usually call names in political threads and never add substance or back up your claims. Back this up.
