I'm not American (Canadian), but I've always found it peculiar how organizations in the US will openly back certain candidates in elections. Wouldn't this be considered taboo by bringing politics into the workplace?

At some point it's dangerous and immoral to stay neutral, particularly for those dealing with hard facts and science. The desire for "balance" just meets a hard end when one political party wants to openly destroy and deny science.

  So which party denies science? The big scandal on this site most recently was the Zuckerberg letter where the whitehouse administration asked Facebook to censor posts relating to Covid they didn’t approve. This staffer is now apparently a deputy campaign official. Previous to that this site discussed the lab leak coverup facilitated by the government. The journals themselves assisted in these operations. Then there was tons of misinformation from the government on vaccine efficacy such as “it prevents transmission” claims though this was never proven and in fact now seems obviously limited if true.

"Bringing politics" may typically be "expressing liking"; there also exists an "expressing judgement, based on available elements, of which candidates seem to be progressive towards a cause".
