Maybe I’m too naive, but I didn’t think they were referring to just politics. They were just referring to two people arguing.

You know, I think you're right. I'm so used to the phrase "both sides" meaning a specific thing it didn't register as anything else. If it had been phrased "both sides of an argument" I would have understood.

Does it normally refer to politics? Maybe for Americans, and they are responsible for a good deal of the English language content online. Right, and the 2 party system...

I'm with you, though, both sides means both sides of an argument. I think the news had something on that a while back- for every climate scientist they interviewed, they had to also interview a climate denier to present a "fair and balanced" view XD
