>In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
For a political effort, I find it odd that their code of conduct doesn't mention political views in their "harassment-free experience" list. I'm left-leaning by Canadian standards (which would make me damn near communist by American standards), and something I find incredibly distressing lately is my fellow leftists who think that progress can be made by attacking and isolating people who disagree. Despite the failure of these tactics in the Brexit referendum and presidential election, people are doubling down.
If you keep labelling people as enemies and pushing them away, it shouldn't be a surprise when you find yourself standing alone.
