How does arguing if politician X or politician Y is better makes tech more responsible?

Supporting politician X doesn't make person more moral or ethical. Same as believing in god A over god B.

Politics discussions are just tribal wars.

It seems you are understanding "politics at work" as "discussions about political parties, candidates and elections".

IMHO, politics is much more than partisan politics. In the broad sense, it is reflecting and deciding on how live together. And parties and candidates are only a part (maybe the most divisive) of it.
