How did you all make this a political issue, heavy rainfall lead to pump failures and overflow of the city water reservoir.

Even the writer didn't make it political.

Guess the people in California should all burn in wildfires too?
People in Flint, MI should all succumb to lead poisoning?
Northern states should be allowed to freeze to death during blizzards?
Tornados and hurricanes are the fault of the states political leaders.

To hell with the people regardless of what party they belong too, they should all suffer for the sins o the others.

Politicians just laugh as we make everything political and keep them in power, meanwhile they all meet at the private club, sit together regardless of party and discus the next divisive thing they can push on the people.
