This thread completely misses the point. That's not the issue.
The issue is that political discussion have become toxic because people cannot tolerate those who disagree with them on important matters.
This thread doesn't answer how they deal with this toxicity.

Sure, you have a channel on #americanpolitics, but how do you handle it when one person claims to shoot guns at the range every weekend, then several others complain to HR how they now feel unsafe at work.
Basecamp's solution to political toxicity was to discourage such discussion at work. Asana doesn't say how they deal with toxicity. Sure, they have spaces for politics, but they still haven't say how you handle it when it bleeds over to work.

Some companies think political discussions belong in any part of their work space. Others feel they get in the way of other communication.
A suggestion to reject false trade-offs: actively create spaces for these conversations.

At Asana, this primarily takes the form of employee resource groups. We have them for many kinds of identity, and some spaces are for those groups only and some are ally-friendly. They each have Asana team pages (with projects, e.g. to share articles) and Slack channels.
We readily create more dedicated channels in Slack like #americanpolitics, #climate-change, #coronavirus, etc.
(We also have #canadapolitics, but it's... not the same.)
