Saying ‘we don’t want to be an activist organization beyond our business goals, therefore we want to keep political discussions out of the workplace’ is not the same thing as saying ‘my business supports whatever the US government’s stated opinion is’.

Nobody supports the status quo.

Correct, but both are political statements. "We don't want to be involved in the political discussion" is just as political as "we want to be involved in the political discussion".

True, but your two statements in this comment aren’t really representative of anything being discussed here.

The statements we were talking about upthread don’t reduce to these ones.
