      It’s been almost 4 years that he could’ve been replaced and he hasn’t so that’s not all on them, the Biden admin is at fault here as well.

        Have you looked into how the postmaster general is appointed? The president has no direct power to oust the position unless it’s for cause, which carries with it a burden of proof.

        The mechanism which was supposed to insulate the USPS from politics is functioning as intended, regardless of how shitty the guy is.

          The USPS board of governors has 11 seats.

          • 2 are held by the postmaster general and deputy elected by the board (Louis DeJoy and Douglas Tulino)
          • 2 are remaining Trump appointees
          • 5 are Biden appointees
          • 2 are vacant

          Biden appointees already control the board and Biden could appoint 2 more

          Have you? They are elected by USPS governors which get appointed by the president. Over half of the governors have been appointed by Biden. They absolutely could vote for a new Postmaster General.
