早在八月份，佛罗里达州众议员安吉·尼克松就做了一件让外界许多人意想不到的事：她赢得了佛罗里达州的民主党参议院初选。
Back in August, Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon did something few outside the state saw coming: She won Florida’s Democratic US Senate primary.
她的胜利在政坛引起了轰动，不仅因为她的对手亚历克斯·温德曼的竞选资金是她的19倍，还因为她是以民主社会主义者的身份参选的。
Her victory sent shock waves through the political world not only because her opponent Alex Vindman’s war chest dwarfed hers 19 to 1, but also because Nixon ran as a Democratic Socialist.
如今，她是全国众多隶属于美国民主社会主义者（Democratic Socialists of America, DSA）的候选人之一，这些人有可能在11月的选举中当选为国会议员。DSA的突然崛起正在重塑民主党乃至整个美国的政治格局。但尼克松表示，她希望那些关注她竞选活动的人能抛开这些标签。
Today, she’s one of a number of candidates around the country affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America who could be elected to Congress this November. The sudden rise in the DSA’s popularity is reshaping the Democratic Party and America’s political landscape. But Nixon says she wants people who are considering her campaign to forget all about those labels.
‘这无关进步派与温和派、民主党与共和党的对立，也无关DSA成员与工作家庭党成员的区分，’尼克松说，‘问题在于富人越来越富有，他们让工薪家庭的生活变得更加艰难。’
“It’s not about progressive vs. moderate vs. conservative, or Democrat vs. Republican, or DSA member vs. Working Families Party member,” Nixon says. “It’s about the rich are getting richer, and they’re making it harder for working families to be alive.”
在本周的节目中，尼克松与主持人阿尔·莱特森（Al Letson）讨论了她从社区活动家、漫画书合著者到新兴参议院候选人的转变，以及她如何成为共和党州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯（Ron DeSantis）的最大竞争对手，同时还探讨了她的进步主义理念是否能在极度保守的佛罗里达州取得胜利。’
On this week’s , Nixon talks to host Al Letson about going from community activist and comic book co-author to upstart US Senate candidate, being “the biggest thorn” in Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ side, and whether her progressive message can win in deep-red Florida. Find on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Pandora, or your favorite podcast app, and don’t forget to.
