Language likely to offend or alienate individuals or groups based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. will not be tolerated. At all. (Those are just a few examples; when in doubt, just don't.)" "etc." => politics, in this case back-ref "Language likely to offend or alienate individuals or groups" as not everyone agrees with the political message(s) posted, and the use of the platform users signed up on for entirely different purposes.

That's not politics. That's basically just saying don't be a jerk and say something hurtful regardless of the reason. You seem to be making a leap of judgement that etc means don't post politics at all instead of don't attack someone for their political opinion and then you're mad that on a completely different personal site he says he's against some actions and that companies need to not be okay with this. He gives no actions he's planning on taking just says that they should discuss it. He doesn't demonize someone for how they voted or their political party and even cites people from the opposing party with whom he agrees. Your position comes soon appearing like you're chomping at the bit to make anything you disagree with somehow some evil conspiracy plot where a certain segment of the population you disagree with us out to get you. You're allowed say different things at home than at work. I doubt heavily his opinions at home are solely made into policy at work in a vacuum.
