Except that sometimes "those you don't agree with" don't really care about the repo, they just want to push their political agenda.

Other times your conscience might feel cleaner just knowing that you aren't part of a group that does things you don't like, for example: discrimination based on race. Some big projects have partnered with programs like Outreachy, that decide who to help based on the ethnicity, gender, and sexuality of the applicant.

Would you feel comfortable working for a project that openly partners with the KKK to foster adoption of open source in the white supremacist community?. This is an extreme example, but I'm using it for the sake of the argument: Most of us wouldn't want to work for such a project, even though some people might be more malleable than others.
