> So no, it's not a good idea to try to make everything political. This is true regardless of anyone's moral intuitions. It's an objective fact that society is better off when certain things are not politicized, especially infrastructure services.

Our difference lies in the definition of politics. I am not from the US and I hold to a more original definition, everything that has to do with how societies are structured, are governed and how they act is politics. Everything within the public sphere is politics.

In your example, building a bridge is politics, letting everyone through is politics. You can't make or unmake something to be political. It either is or isn't _by definition_.
