There's a slight grey area... if somebody can guess your political affiliation by your position on certain topics, that might be OK. If you flat-out tell them, that's a bridge too far. So avoid the red/blue recriminations, it only leads to one outcome. If all parties to the debate remain totally civil, it gets more leeway.

If you really want to discuss politics, I'd recommend doing that at a bar... not here, or at family dinner, or on the flight deck.


Religion is 100% no-go as a discussion topic here (including abortion).

We do not have exceptions for certain forums, the TOS applies equally to all. The various forums exist just to organize threads and information.
