apolitically
Lacking partisan stance
In a manner detached from or indifferent to politics.
Someone who approaches a topic apolitically avoids partisan framing or ideological positioning: She tried to discuss the issue apolitically, focusing only on the data.
The word often signals an attempt at neutrality, though critics may argue nothing is truly apolitical.
