Discovery stupidly political? for example take a knee when 54 NFL players did drugs, rape, battery?

The overly political stuff does seem a bit of a distraction to me. I wanted some escapist sci fi and a bit of light moralizing not getting run over by the moralizing train.
 
They try to make every character a mixed bag of good and bad rather than people and a future we can aspire to. Now it's just another show :thumbdown:
 
Star Trek seems to be getting infested with extreme leftwing politik. Typical day in the overpaid NFL domestic assault, drugs, illegal dog fights, drunk driving, fathers a kid but refuses to pay child support, punching women's faces in and battery, assault with a vehicle, more steroids, illegal gambling, pot smoking, 8 or 9 different kids by 8 different mothers again refusing to pay support, gun grabbing, drunk driving again, more Arrested, Drugs again, illegal guns...seem there is a lot of politics in the tv show and the writers and some cast took a side on the whole take a knee thing. Seems a certain style of politics has hijacked the show....some of these NFL guys are back on the field but viewers are switching off disgusted with the politics, so is Roddenbery churning in his Urn? https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/13/upshot/what-the-numbers-show-about-nfl-player-arrests.html and https://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/arrests/ oh and according to some official statements, politics of Discovery? the Klingons are 'White' 'Trump' voters?
You must be new to Star Trek because Star Trek has always done commentary (using Sci-Fi as a mask) on various political issues. That dates all the way back to TOS. And it's usually a more 'liberal' than 'conservative' viewpoint - so yeah, you're either new to Star Trek or weren't really paying much attention to what you were watching. :)
 
Star Trek left wing? You shock me sir.

Also, reading your posts throughout the thread you've earned an infraction for Flaming for calling another poster a dumbass, and one for trolling for telling someone they're on your ignore list.
