then argue for that.
And anyway, it's factually inaccurate: the PSF has commented on
political affairs. Let me quote

The silence on the Iraq war is indeed regrettable and in the past. So
the PSF changed. I would not like to see a new phase of silence in the
PSF start.

I wanted to vote on this but Twitter said, "You’re unable to view

So... what's the point of having a poll?
Anyway, my feeling is "no" toward the "PSF making a statement in
support of peace".
As Herve said, there's a lot of hypocrisy toward the PSF suddenly
making a statement right now. As if the PSF has suddenly become
ethical.
If we go down this path of making statements about matters that
are outside of software, then I have a passionate list of things
that I'd like the PSF to come out and make statements for.
Please, just ask.
