Internship with politician who I greatly disagree with

I’ve been hesitant to respond because I do sort of in theory agree with what others are saying but…I personally wouldn’t do it. When you work for someone, you are helping that person achieve their goals (at least if you’re doing a good job). If their goals include things like taking away abortion access or discriminating against LGBT+ or anything else of the sort, I 100% would not want to be a part of that. I would not want my labor - however low level, even if I’m just making the coffee that wakes that person up enough to go out and promote their hate - in any way to support work that in my view actively harms people I love. I would not be a part of that. Period.

Exactly.
