I totally get why you don't want to go, but of course it's awkward because it's a party for you and your husband and so many other people will be there. Does the one daughter know how you feel about her politics? Maybe you could put in a ceremonial appearance for a short time, just say hello and thank you and then bail before things get uncomfortable. Your husband gould at least be a buffer and do more of the talking. I don't know what I'd do.
