"My ideology is objectively true."

That is not a political philosophy, it is a religion.

This is true. But one party is objectively better at governing than the other, in all measurable and meaningful metrics, so I vote for them.


Replace party with ideology (not a reach at all considering the difference between the parties comes down to ideology) and you get some grade A irony.

Important difference between being objectively true and being objectively more likely to produce better results.

Both make absolutist claims.

"My ideology is objectively true"

"My party is objectively better"

Ideology and party are synonymous. True, good, better on some level are also synonymous in this context.

Saying something like "more likely" has an inherent subjective flavor to it.

Well religious faith supports his claim, and mathematics support my claim.

One is measurable. You can look at American history and economics, education, markets, winning wars, influence, etc, all do better under Democratic presidents.

Plasma's statement is based on belief and no information or facts. My statement has a case study called The United States proving it correct.

It is a different statement if it is based on empiricism and not faith alone. Quit equivocating faith with fact and you will probably become a liberal.
