Democrats, which is often used synonymously with Liberal in the United States, use this saying because they see the major opposing side, the Republicans, as needing to deny scientific evidence to push agendas. (sometimes true)

Democrats would point to climate change as an example of this. They then extrapolate too far, in my opinion, and declare that Liberal=Science therefore Liberal=Objective therefore Republican != Objective.

I think it's clear that this kind of tribal-based reasoning hurts objectivity.

And Republicans would claim that Democrats deny scientific evidence when it comes to gender and race.

Tell me more about the scientific evidence that Democrats ignore when it comes to race?

I'm not sure exactly what the parent comment has in mind, but the Lex Fridman podcast recently covered race topics relating to intelligence, I wonder if it's related to that: https://youtu.be/g9RxrsvcS-k

The YouTube video is obviously a touchy subject, and I haven't had time to dig into the interviewee yet to verify his claims, I only skimmed the Wikipedia article relating to the subject, and it's very thorough, and very well cited from the looks of things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_intelligence?wprov=sf...

They deliberately ignore established scientific consensus with regards to the biological and physical differences between men and women. That’s why they say “men can get pregnant!” and insist that MtF transgenders should compete in women’s sports. They have eroded definitions of terms like “gender” which used to be synonymous with “sex” to push a narrative, and silenced physicians/pediatricians who (correctly) voice observations that the hormone-altering drugs given to children sterilizes them. Climate change is another issue. No democrat had ever been able to demonstrate in a manner which its falsehood could can be verified, the degree to which human activity contributes to climate change (e.g. is it 2%? 5%? 50%?). Even though there’s a large push to “go green” and tear down the foundation to our modern infrastructure and energies (coal, petroleum, and gas). Just now there’s been a large push to ban gas stoves as an element to “combat climate change” despite the insignificant contribution to the global-warming pie chart.

There’s a lot more, and there’s a lot that the republicans & democrats are both guilty of (e.g. the suppression of studies of cognitive abilities between the races e.g. the gaussian distributions of IQ, despite IQs being comparably reliable in predicting academic success, job performance, career potential and creativity). They like to say “race is skin deep”, while ignoring the fact that even children of mixed-race parents cannot accept a bone-marrow transplant from their own parents - it will be rejected. It literally goes further than bone deep. These are just a handful of observations anyone can verify for themselves.
