Some people still believe there are no politics in Star Trek (startrek.website)

As powerful as this scene was, the next one has Rom asking his mom to get naked. Ferengis are the best!

DS9 dabbled into politics in ways the other series never did, to the point of a culture conflict, war, genocide, oppression, occupancy, etc.

DS9 certainly took it to a more intense point, but there's not a single Star Trek series that wasn't constantly swimming in politics, philosophy and ethics dilemmas. Anyone who thinks there isn't real life politics in Star Trek isn't paying attention.

Star Trek has been very political since the original series.

And don't forget Miles O'Brien, union man. Or Quark's employees forming a union for that matter

The setting allowed for some deep introspection not distracted by the Planet of the Week™
