"I will say that it takes a certain level of privilege to say one shouldn’t discuss politics at work." Can you clarify the meaning? As it reads to me, if one belongs to a marginalized group, one would suffer disproportionately from making such a statement. I'm not quite clear on the semantics I suppose.

On another note, anecdotally, how many people have had a work relationship or project suffer due to discussion of politics at work, or alternatively, improve? (This being a reason not to discuss, it would be beneficial to sample for how likely it is to occur negatively.)
