There are some people you don’t want to piss off, no matter the situation. Your dentist. Your waitress. Anybody who works on your car or gives money to your political campaign.
I love letter carriers as much as I love plumbers and a lot more than I love political consultants and donors looking to buy an ambassadorship.
Letter carriers used to be called the mailman. They’re all unionized and politically adept these days. These people know they have the country by the cojones but they don’t flaunt it. Remember, though, these are the folks to put high on your Do Not Piss Off List.
Why? Do the math. Letter carriers deliver everything everywhere. If they like you, the delivery is made. If not, the delivery shows up as a dirty envelope on the news sometime in 2039.
The National Association of Letter Carriers union just gave the presidential campaign a big boost with their endorsement. “Hillary loves letter carriers,” I always say. Letter carriers have a tough, demanding job, so they’re interested in what they can get from the government. Health care, better education, the typical list of benefits to having a Democrat around instead of a cowboy who shoots first and asks questions later.
Any politician who doesn’t vote in favor of legislation beneficial to letter carriers is not smart enough to be in politics, let alone run for the White House. That’s why nobody sends campaign contributions to Republicans through the mail.
