The relevant data in this case is pretty solid. We know how big, massive, etc. various objects are. That part of the science isn't being debated, but what interpretations to apply to the data, and what labels to apply to the objects where you have the data, is as much politics (internal politics within the astronomy community, not Democrat vs. Republican) as it is science.
