We need a code of conduct. Without one people with whose politics we don't agree might contribute.
This is dangerous as it would hurt the minorities which elected us as their representatives.
If we fail to do this, collaborative work will decline. We seek in this project to create an inclusive community where coders from a variety of backgrounds are able to work together. Several of us are uncomfortable collaborating and/or interacting on a platform without a code of conduct, both because it is antithetical towards our core

Therefore we need to make sure we can exclude such people from this inclusive space.
