You're not being realistic by demanding clarity in a murky area. So yeah, it's gonna be a personal judgement call. Founders aren't necessarily gonna have a clear idea either, so you just need to expect leeway, _especially_ in small companies.

But I'm not demanding clarity. I'm saying it is impossible to provide clarity on a subjective topic like this.
Exactly. The clarity is the boss telling you go/no go. For some things it doesn't get much better than that.
But having someone actually _telling_ you "yes" or "no" is infintely better than a boss that sits in the sidelines or tries to please everyone fruitlessly.

But that's not what Basecamp management is doing by banning "political discussion". It's not clear what that means, particularly given they take outspoken political positions. There's no go/no go here.
