The piece also continues what I think it the terrible societal trend, specifically on this topic, of categorizing things based on political positions. Public health should never be political. Nor should the welfare and education of children. But, that article, and many others like it treat all topics as political and a question of which political group gets blame/credit. Things like education, child welfare, and public health shouldn't be a political football game where we keep score.

I’m gonna push back on this a bit.

I agree with you that public health and the welfare and education of children should not be political issues.

That implies that you (hopefully) believe that these are just understood to be good things that we as a society should do.

It’s important to point out that there is one political party that agrees with you, and one that vehemently does not agree with you.

I also disagree that we shouldn’t keep score on these issues. Keeping score on who was right and who was wrong, and who made good decisions and who made bad ones, is how we inform our future votes. If you’re not keeping score of which party is making good decisions, you’re not doing your part as a citizen to be an informed voter.
