(10,396 posts)I trust Biden and his administration and, no, I do not think he supports DeJoy or is nominating candidates to keep DeJoy in power.
Did you take Kavanaugh and all the other Justices that voted to overturn Roe v Wade at face value when they claimed that it was settled law -- until they had a majority in place where they could overturn it, as everyone suspected they would all along?
Biden has not had yet had a majority on the USPS to get rid of DeJoy and I see no reason to buy into the conspiracy theory that he is nominating people that want to keep him in power given that some of his nominees have been quite outspoken critics of DeJoy and his plans. Having the board members outright say they will vote to oust DeJoy is a good way to make sure that Biden never gets to nominate that crucial vote that gets him ousted in the first place (see: Republican obstructionism throughout the years, including when Scalia died and Obama had the chance to nominate a Justice that could have swung the power of the Court).
So, not only is it a conspiracy theory created in bad faith by questioning Biden's intentions, I would say it also shows a complete lack of understanding of the politics behind these sorts of things.
I have faith in Biden and his team.
EDIT: FURTHERMORE, Biden has nominated three Democrats to the Board -- and there's reason to believe at least two of them are very much anti-DeJoy, whereas I don't believe the third has said much one way or the other, so that completely flies in the face of your claim that "Biden has named Democrats to the board who support DeJoy."
