There is a lot more to political philosophy than "Is president X better than president Y?". Moreover, who's claiming that something has to be demonstrated as true? You find no value whatsoever in discussing and considering different axioms?

Discussing them is fine. How does one determine which axiom is correct? Especially given that a skilled debater can persuasively argue either side?

Note that there have been many scientific theories that were debated persuasively, reasonably, and logically, until someone applied the scientific method and proved one side correct and the other false.
