If it were me, I'd probably say "You know me, I don't take sides," but I honestly don't think that "You know me, I don't advocate anyone" would necessarily have any strange implications in conversation.

If you want to use the "I don't advocate anyone" thing, I'd say the best thing to do would be to take out the "you know me" and to change the "don't" to "won't" so it's "I won't advocate for anyone."

The tight with anyone doesn't work in this context in my opinion.

The thing to realize is that at this level, it's a very subjective thing. Other people might think completely differently than me.

But again, things I might say in that situation are:

"You know me, I don't take sides"
"I'm not getting involved (with this)"
"You know me, I don't like to get involved"
"I'm not advocating for anyone"
