Policy changes at the hand of a new Trump-appointed Postmaster General eliminate overtime, slash office hours, & order mail carriers to leave mail behind — things which carriers said are sacred tenants of their job. These are exacerbating staff shortages due to COVID-19.

They've since accepted that they're going to lose so they just want Biden to start out under the most catastrophic circumstances, which they will immediately blame on him as they did with Obama in 2009. And the MSM will help them, as it did then.

@ryangrim

Here’s the problem with that plan: if they don’t hold the Senate, Dems can juice the economy. And the further Mitch drives it down now, the better the comeback looks. So even from a cynical perspective, this “trust the process”-style tanking seems wrongheaded (also evil)
