Call me crazy, but I'm starting to think the entire governmental system is gamed against the Right.
I'll start here: As millions and millions of voters prepare to mail in their ballots, a postal workers' union decided not to offer a presidential endorsement because that would just be a bad look shortly before an election. Just kidding! The National Association of Letter Carriers has thrown its support behind Kamala Harris, but don't worry, there's no reason to wonder about the security of your ballot if you're a Republican (unless maybe you have a Trump sign in your yard or something like that):
The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) on Thursday announced its support for Vice President Kamala Harris’s election campaign, saying she will bring much-needed change to the U.S. Postal Service.
The group, which represents over 290,000 current and retired Postal Service city workers, explained its decision was bolstered by Tuesday’s presidential debate. Several polls found voters agreed Harris won the debate despite claims to the contrary by former President Donald Trump.
It's pretty amazing that people involved in elections are even allowed to make endorsements, but obviously they don't care what it looks like.
This doesn't stop with the postal unions. Here's an endorsement that would make Lois Lerner proud, because IRS agents have thrown the full weight of their auditing powers behind the Democrat candidate, partly because of the Inflation Reduction Act that worsened inflation but provided the IRS with a lot more money:

There's so much wrong with all this.

Wow, Congress needs to pass a law prohibiting IRS agents from forming a union, much less forming a union that makes partisan endorsements and political contributions. https://t.co/drep1Olf1n

From the Media Research Center:
The union that represents the nation’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents announced Wednesday that it is endorsing Democrat Kamala Harris for president in this year’s election.
Vice President Harris has played a role in “one of the most pro-labor administrations in history,” the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) explained in a press release announcing its decision:
“The administration also delivered agency budgets that provide federal employees with additional staffing and resources, including significant new investments to rebuild the IRS under the Inflation Reduction Act.”
"How is it that the IRS unfairly targeted conservative groups" somebody might ask. It's not a total mystery:
How encouraging for the proles.

"ATR research also found that 97% of political contributions by the IRS agents’ union went to Democrats in the 2022 election cycle." https://t.co/6XkjnKv2ko
If there's good news to be had, a Harris endorsement from the IRS might be even less appealing to voters than Kamala earning the support of Dick and Liz Cheney.
Legacy of Lois Lerner lives on.

Lois Lerner targeted conservative groups from her position with the IRS, so naturally she is now comfortably retired on the taxpayers' dime.
