I keep most not directly work related talk out of work. Not because I think they must not be crossed, or because I'm afraid of someone disagreeing (I'm also fairly far left, so plenty of my views are en vouge at the moment), but because usually there is no time for any nuanced discussions during work hours, so it just ends up being people throwing rehashed phrases at each other while passing by.
I'll happely meet a co-worker over lunch/dinner to discuss things more deeply.
But since over time the workplaces is inevitably shaped by the society it is in, in my opinion we might as well try figure out ways to deal with broader issues while at work, instead of pretending they are isolated. (I'm not saying I have a good solution of how this would look like.)

I have noted that the 2 options when talking politics at work are that either 1. you'll disagree, or 2. you'll agree, and I'm not sure which option is worse.
