I think that, while many LessWrong readers do believe that one party is way better than the other, such that the inter-party quality variation is far larger than the intra-party quality variation, this is not true of all readers.
And I think it’s a reasonable move to write a post that says “Assuming that these are your values/beliefs, you should do X” without taking a position on whether those values/beliefs are correct: it can be valuable and action-guiding for such people!
