民主党全国委员会主席肯·马丁周一捍卫了其党的“大帐篷”策略，主张民主党必须继续扩大其联盟，即便共和党因其与民主社会主义者的关系而攻击该党。
Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin defended his party's big-tent approach Monday, arguing Democrats must continue expanding their coalition even as Republicans target the party over its ties to democratic socialists.
马丁在接受MSNOW采访时被问及，在美国中期选举之前，美国民主社会主义者（DSA）是否会成为该党的负担。
Martin was pressed during an interview on MSNOW about whether the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is a liability for the party ahead of the midterm elections.
“所以我想说，我一直采取大帐篷的方式来建设一个政党，”马丁说。“这就是为什么我在明尼苏达州这些年一直很成功。我认为你是通过加法而非减法来获胜的。你是通过扩大联盟而非缩小联盟来获胜的。”NEWSOM告诉民主党人，要在“加法而非减法”的业务中与社会主义者合作。“有时候，当美国人看到……时，是否存在中间地带？”MSNOW主播彼得·亚历山大插话道。
"So let me just say, I've always taken a big-tent approach to how you build a party," Martin said. "That's why I was successful for all these years in Minnesota. I believe you win through addition, not subtraction. You win by growing your coalition, not shrinking it." NEWSOM TELLS DEMOCRATS TO BE IN THE 'ADDITION NOT SUBTRACTION' BUSINESS WITH SOCIALISTS "And sometimes, is there a middle ground, though, when Americans see that…" interjected MSNOW anchor Peter Alexander.
“不，完全不是，因为那是绝大多数美国人所处的位置，”马丁回应。“也许正好在中间，或者稍微偏左，或者稍微偏右。但这并不意味着我们不能把新声音带入政党，对吧？当然，我们必须继续增长，必须继续扩大这个帐篷，”马丁重申道。
"No, not at all, because that's where the vast majority of Americans are at," Martin replied. "Maybe right in the middle, or a little center-left, or a little center-right. But it doesn't mean we can't bring new voices into the party, right? Of course, we have to keep growing and we have to keep expanding this tent," Martin reiterated.

“民主党主席肯·马丁拥抱那些想要废除警察、监狱和边界的极左激进分子，”共和党全国委员会在DSA联席主席因自豪地确认社会主义者想要废除参议院、国家边界、监狱而被嘲讽时写道。DSA一直主张极左政策，包括废除警察、监狱和美国移民及海关执法局（ICE），以及取消移民限制和扩大公有制。
"Democratic Party Chair Ken Martin embraces far-Left radicals who want to abolish the police, prisons, and borders," the Republican National Committee wrote on DSA CO-CHAIR MOCKED FOR PROUDLY CONFIRMING SOCIALISTS WANT TO ABOLISH THE SENATE, NATIONAL BORDERS, PRISONS The DSA has advocated far-left policies, including abolishing police, prisons and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as well as eliminating immigration restrictions and expanding public ownership.
在11月的选举前夕，唐纳德·特朗普总统及共和党人频繁抨击民主社会联盟（Democratic Socialists of America, DSA）。本月早些时候，特朗普的经济顾问委员会发布了一份报告，估计如果采纳民主社会联盟提出的七项主要政策，将在10年内使联邦赤字增加49万亿美元，相当于每个美国家庭承担超过35万美元的额外负担。
President Donald Trump and Republicans have frequently targeted the DSA ahead of the November elections. Earlier this month, Trump's Council of Economic Advisers released a report estimating that adopting seven major DSA policies would add $49 trillion to federal deficits over 10 years, equivalent to more than $350,000 per American household.
参议员马克·凯利（Mark Kelly）警告称，那些“毫无道理”的极左翼政策可能会让民主党失去选票。白宫在关于该报告的新闻稿中表示：“毫无疑问，这些政策就是民主党的政策。他们企图摧毁我们这个伟大的国家，让我们的经济以及整个国家的根基陷入崩溃。”与此同时，许多主流民主党人士试图与“民主社会联盟”的标签划清界限，强调他们支持资本主义和社会民主制度。
SEN MARK KELLY WARNS FAR-LEFT POLICIES THAT ‘DON’T MAKE SENSE’ COULD COST DEMOCRATS SEATS "Make no mistake, these are the Democrats’ policies," a White House news release regarding the report stated. "They want to destroy our great, hard-fought nation, and plummet our economy and the very fabric of our nation into the ground." Meanwhile, many mainstream Democrats have tried to distance themselves from the DSA label, pointing to their support for capitalism and social democracy.
