It seems like it would be a lot easier to convince people to take that point seriously by funding the post office until after the election and having the discussion then. Funding USPS for the rest of the calendar year is, in relative terms, not that expensive -- so, I would find your argument a lot more credible if you were willing to have the discussion about privatizing it in the new year.
