In one of the least surprising twist of events in history , the people who worked on Star Trek – a show which envisions a future Earth without sexism , racialism , faith , and even money – witness the thought of a Trump presidency abhorrent . More surprisingly , they all need to be clear that a vote for a third political party is a vote for Trump .
Aposton the Facebook groupTrek Against Trump(“not indorse , buy at , or associate with CBS Studios Inc. , Paramount Pictures Corp or the “ ’ Star Trek ’ enfranchisement . ” ) explain that “ Never has there been a presidential prospect who stands in such complete opposition to the paragon of the Star Trek universe as Donald Trump . His election would take this country backward , perhaps disastrously . ”
But Trek Against Trump is n’t just telling people not to vote for Trump , though . Perhaps surprisingly for a show with ideals as far left as Star Trek ’s , the berth also submit the metre to inspire multitude to be legitimate about how our two - party organization actually works :
We have heard people say they will vote Green or Libertarian or not at all because the two major candidates are equally blemished . That is both illogical and inaccurate . Either Secretary Clinton or Mr. Trump will busy the White House . One is an amateur with a contemptuous ignorance of national laws and international reality , while the other has devoted her life to public divine service , and has inscrutable and valuable experience with the proven power to work with Congress to pass urgently needed statute law . If , as some say , the government is violate , a protest vote will not limit it .
If anyone is going to be affected by this post – and it would be neat if this handle to be persuasive – it ’s going to be people who think of Hillary Clinton as too moderate for them .
Most of the Trek - affiliated hoi polloi you may name has endorsed this letter . A small sample distribution includes J.J. Abrams , Scott Bakula , Ira Steven Behr , LeVar Burton , John Cho , Peter David , Jonathan Frakes , Bryan Fuller , Walter Koenig , Gates McFadden , Kate Mulgrew , Simon Pegg , Chris Pine , Zachary Quinto , Andrew Robinson , Brent Spiner , Marina Sirtis , and George Takei . Notably missing from the list are William Shatner and Patrick Stewart .
As is traditional anytime anyone the amusement industry enounce anything mildly political , there are commenters kick about the combination Star Trek and politics — which , of course , dismiss the entire account of this enfranchisement , asmany citizenry have noted . ( To say nothing of the series’commitment to leeway and variety . )
