Political science is a field of the social sciences. It is as valid a field of study as other social science branches, such as anthropology, economics, sociology, geography, psychology, and others.
The last time we had a schism similar to this was in the 1960’s.
Back then, many of my contemporaries were majoring in Political Science. A few of my friends and I majored in Electrical Engineering. Guess which group had an easier time finding a job.
The trouble with “history” is it was written as “news” back then and then remembered as “in the old days” and finally written down by people who can not understand how to drive with a manual transmission.

Real sciences don’t need to tell you that they are sciences.

We don’t have to worry about Danae getting involved in tribal politics. No tribe would touch her. And vice-versa.

Sigh, in our daily diatribal politics there are no “stupid meteors”… just a ton of dirt being flung around.

Any field of study that has “Science” in its name… isn’t.

It is interesting that those debunking science tend to be so certain of themselves. Reminds me of a quote attributed to Aristotle:
Smart people learn from everything and everyone, average people learn from their experiences, stupid people already have all the answers.

Dim Joe says they died because they didn’t get their COVID vaccines and he remembers it well. Sometimes. Like the time he drove the 18 wheeler.

The only time science is used by politics is so politicians can get what they want.

Giant meteors approaching Earth’s orbit is just God’s way of asking “Hows that space program coming along?”

Yeah it was a stupid meteor. It hit 65 million years too early.

The dinosaurs formed two parties that couldn’t get along causing the collapse of their society and end of life as they knew it.
