Let's not forget that Trump tried for months to thwart vote by mail, had his own USPS appointed Board of Governors select a new post master general with Republican ties who then made it more difficult to vvote by mail, then lo and behold on the day of election day, they failed to deliver ballots, despite a court order to do so. Now there are concerns literally millions of votes have were not counted, and we know for fact which party is more likely to vote by mail.
Hmm.... who could have possibly predicted this outcome......

Not a great take. The Republicans surprised and took the Presidency in 2016. It also gave them the Presidency, the Senate, and the House under their control. They didn't act like they had a mandate. They tried to shove as much through as they could while they had the chance to do it.
The Democrats were expecting to blow the Republicans out of the water this year. A lot of Democrats saw their control of unified government as all but a certainty. Instead their presidential candidate underperformed (though will still probably win) and they have barely any hope left of taking the Senate. They were expecting to have their chance to shove stuff through and experienced an unforeseen rejection.
So the Democrats should rightfully be going back to the drawing board and trying to figure out what went wrong and how they could accomplish their goals. I think the Republicans should do the same. Try to figure out how they can keep the populist excitement in their party that Trump brings while also moderating their stance so as not to alienate moderates.

I'm a broken record, but the right should be pretty happy even with losing the White House bc of another conservative justice, retain senate, and gain in house. Can't see too much damage being done looking thru red glasses.

He made sure of it. You guys are hilarious.
Made sure of it? It was always a ligistical nightmare.
You guys are naive and welcoming a clear steal.
I get the desperation as the electorate moves away from your communist ideology.

Its only an issue because Trump and his lackey DeJoy made it an issue. DeJoy had one job, deliver the ballots. As soon as Trump sues to not include these 300k ballots we will be exactly where people were predicting we would be when they accused DeJoy and Trump of using USPS to suppress votes.

And he refused to sweep the post offices and certify no ballots were left behind as ordered by a Judge because? Lets get those ballots in and counted and there wont be an issue. We all see where this is going. Trump will sue to try and prevent them from being counted. This **** didnt happen in any state that isnt a battleground state. That cant be a coincidence.
Yes, because they've literally drug their feet on delivering ballots.
If the post master general were a Dem supporter, you'd be crucifying him right now.
It's been done in other states for years with no issues.
Its absolute insanity.
Poll watchers being thrown out of Philly sites.
Election officials in Detroit saying they found 500 ballots not on voter rolls.
Massive dumps of 100% Biden voters at 4AM.
Its obvious whats going on.

It is the most inefficient way to vote that causes the most Election Day issues.
Anyone thinking their in person vote wasn’t important had what...90 days or so to get there? I had a lot of providers
Shut down all day to let people vote.
The usps should be taken out of the voting program all together... too many people touching too many ballots
At this scale?

No election is ever official until December, so there is no reason things can't be done completely and fairly and get every vote counted, regardless of how sabotaged the USPS was.
