I hate entertainment mixed with politics, unless it’s done subtly (like e.g. classic Star Trek)

Hahahahahaha.

Well I’d never call a celebrity arguing on twitter “political” but OK. I don’t really remember the quote you quoted but I think I wrote something like that when some of the Star Trek actors wrote that anti-Trump letter, right? If so, I stand behind my opinion, if George Takei sad that he will support Clinton, I would have no problem with it, because everybody has the right to vote whoever they think is the best person for the job. What I would not support is if George Takei would say something like “Star Trek stands behind Hillary” or something similar, that is the mixing of entertainment and politics I was talking about. Does it make sense?
In other words I had problems with it for the very same reasons why I have problems with this commercial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqYuw0w645U - Shatner and Doohan IN CHARACTER are promoting a private company (but I don’t have problems with Shatner doing tons of commercials as William Shatner). Does it make at least some sense?
If not, I should probably quote C3PO and his “Shutting up, sir”.
