trek shouldn’t be about contemporary electoral politics.
trek has always (well, when abrams and kurtzman aren’t involved) been about social issues, which are only political because the kind of assclowns who would say “star trek shouldn’t be political” are still hanging around shitting up the real world.
kirk plainly said that you must be from the southern part of the galaxy during a time of jim crow and segregation laws on several ballots in the south & southwest in “let this be your last battlefield”

the tos episode “let this be your last battlefield” and movie #6 were both literally contemporary politics.
electoral politics. like captain kirk shouldn’t look dead to camera and say “don’t vote for nixon” or say some candidate’s slogan, etc.

in addition to the rizzler’s comment, that’s also really hammy and we usually want better writing.
there’s plenty of ham and questionable writing all over start trek. lol
