FIRST: problems at the Curtis Water Plant are not the responsiblity of the mayor.

In a nutshell, this is the problem with the arguments you and your allies have put together for the past 6 years. It's NEVER your responsibility. It's always someone else's fault. Bringing this to the national level, your allies currently have held power in both houses of congress and the executive for the past two years. But the problems are not your fault. It's that damned "Trump" effect! If those damned MAGA types would just shut up and go along, we'd be rainbows and skittles. People are getting mighty tired of this. I have never been a Trump supporter, but what you have refused to acknowledge from 2015 until the current moment is that Trump was only ever secondarily chosen because of his ideas. Trump was (and is, though less and less each day) a phenomenon in response to the radical failure of your own side. People didn't so much choose Trump as they very thoroughly REJECTED Hillary Clinton and the Obama nation of the prior eight years. People are now once again thoroughly REJECTING the Biden extension of precisely that same effect.

You have the levers of power. When shit is going so badly south under your watch, it's YOUR responsibility, not that of your opponents who are pointing out your flaws. You seem incapable of accepting responsibility for the real-world consequences of your policies. Instead, it's one blame game after another. This seems to be pathological with your side of the debate.
