I agree, but I'd go one step further and try to avoid the words Republicans/conservatives and Democrats/liberals altogether if possible. What we need to emphasize is that this is not a political cause. Sure, its implications are political, but the core boils down to human conscience and responsibility, and we need everyone on our side who's otherwise alienated by the slightest hint of a political movement.

I think we need to use those words to counter the media narrative that it's a partisan hoax.

Wouldn't something along the lines of "this goes beyond our political stances" suffice, without explicitly spelling out those words? I know I'm so resistant to political blabla thanks to a continuous disappointment and frustration that if I see one of those words mentioned anywhere I scroll right past. And I know many do the same. Also, this is global, and as @Yuke very smartly pointed it out, this dichotomy doesn't necessarily make sense for everybody.

Maybe with just labeling "R," "D," etc? They have to be labeled in some way, in order to prove the point that Pizzagate is unbiased.

But does this prove that point any more substantially than a general phrasing of the same thing? I think we need to emphasize what Pizzagate is, as opposed to what it isn't. "Pizzagate is not a conservative or liberal cause" sounds like explaining yourself, and evokes a lot of complex emotions. "Pizzagate is a human cause beyond political ideology" is to the point, and imprints a simple message.
