This is one of the most absurd takes of all time. The postal nominees Bernie blocked wanted to privatize the Postal Service, end 6-day mail, undermine unions, cut jobs, pension and healthcare benefits and lobbied for the payday lending industry. Facts matter, Jason. (See Thread) https://twitter.com/DrJasonJohnson/status/1294261815833251841

What Jason may not understand is that the attacks on the Postal Service did not begin with Trump. For years, there's been a concerted attempt to dismantle and privatize the Postal Service for years - and Bernie has led the effort against those attacks again and again.

In 2012, Bernie formed a coalition of 27 Senators to stop the Postal Service from closing up to 15,000 post offices, eliminating more than 100 mail processing facilities, ending Saturday mail and slashing over 100,000 postal service jobs. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2012/02/24/postal-service-cuts-path-privatization-say-critics

Now more than ever, let us unite to strengthen, protect and expand the Postal Service - and fight against every attempt to dismantle, sabotage, destroy and privatize it.
