> You’ve had a particularly divisive approach towards people (e.g. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandler/2020/10/08/60-emp... )

Unless you have more information than I do, I really don't understand how that is an example of divisiveness. Picking sides is a great way of being divisive.

If they picked a side, people would've also left the company because they disagreed with the side that was picked. Which would mean that the company culture will become that side. People who think differently will be discouraged to join the company because they don't want to work for a company with stand points they disagree with. A company like that will possibly end up blind to whatever the 'other side' thinks. That's how you end up with Juicero.

I don't think every organization should be apolitical by default. But there really is a point to being apolitical as an organization, especially in the Crypto market, since there are so many different reasons for people supporting Crypto, any political stand point might cause you to lose customers.
