Yes it is.

True, but those are complementary not mutually exclsuive motivations.

I don't play along with excuses. As I said, if it was really about that, they had numerous opportunities in the past four years.

That’s like saying genocide is ok because we need to decrease our population. They are mutual exclusive motivations.

No, I'm saying that both causing the postal service to fail to politically justify full privatization and interfering with mail-in voting for perceived benefit in the immediate upcoming election are actual motivations of the policies being implemented by the executive branch that impede USPS function.
I don't think either of those motivations is okay, in fact, I think the action being taken on either basis alone would be, and a fortiori them being taken with both motivations is, a serious abuse of executive power.

I dont know, I support this action. I'd rather defund the USPS then the police force. Rebuilding the USPS using solid business fundamentals would be good for everyone.

You're looking for an enemy where there is none.
If they wanted to privatize it, they could have don’t it at any time during the past four years.
