Absent a genuinely deep new idea, the difficulty of executing a piece of writing scales exponentially with the number of words/phrases that you must avoid using because they are too overloaded with partisan color.
I don't know how to solve this problem in terms of general writing tricks and hacks. It may not be possible to solve. You could just pre-estimate the difficulty or writing a piece by brainstorming a list of the words/phrases you might use.
