You can do that anywhere. Just don’t do it with a captive audience.

And the people most inclined to discuss politics in the work place tend to be the people who take it personally.

I read the original post from Brian as; you can, but at work one should work. Coinbase isn't paying folks to debate politics, they're paying someone to further the company mission.
