Great post! 👍 Thanks for this. Lately, I've seen a bunch of complaining that blogs should just "stick to their niche" and, alternately, people calling out bloggers for continuing to post about those niche topics on social media.

Should blogs "stay out of politics?" I think that's a decision each website owner needs to make. In this case, this post is about WordPress on a site about WordPress and, I believe, entirely appropriate.

WordPress allows people to have a public platform to express diverse ideas; it gives people a voice who wouldn't have had one thirty years ago. Whether you agree with those ideas or not, that makes WordPress inherently political.

Thanks again for a great post!
