I think a system that allows a reason someone is denounced, specifically for political views or support, should be implemented, to block the mob from denouncing someone on all of their projects, simply because they are against certain topics, or in an opposing political party
Sometimes political views should actually get you shunned.
You're always free to create a fork.
And this is why it needs a reason/ban rule. You guys simply can’t help yourselves.
Please tell us the correct political views we should have, or at least provide a list of the political views that will result in a shunning.
You know exactly the ones they're talking about.
The ones you're not willing to say with your whole chest in public because you know what everyone will think about you.
Either have the courage of your own convictions or have shame, you pick.

1. Such a system is already in place (see the `--reason` flag).
2. Being able to denounce people with noxious political views is a feature, not a bug. If someone shows up in your issues complaining about how your CoC is "woke," they're a bad actor stirring up pointless drama. At best, this is just a waste of everyone's time, and at worst they're haranguing your actual contributors who happen to be trans or something. Respectful contributors naturally will not fall afoul of this, regardless of their beliefs or party affiliation or what-have-you.
