佛罗里达州民主党参议院候选人安吉·尼克松在TikTok上获得的关注度比大牌民主党人更高。参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默则收到更多批评。而该党本身正面临来自政治光谱各方的压力——保守派称其已走向激进，左翼人士则认为其不够左倾。
Florida’s Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon gets more love on TikTok than big-name Democrats. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer gets more grief. And the party itself is taking heat across the political spectrum, from conservatives who say it has gone radical to those on the left who say it isn’t left enough.
这是《华尔街日报》对自9月1日起发布或播出的数千条TikTok视频、播客节目和政治新闻节目的分析结果，涉及67名在职或有意参选的民主党人。
That is the picture from a Wall Street Journal analysis of thousands of TikTok videos, podcast episodes and political-news programs published or aired since Sept. 1 about 67 Democrats who hold office or want it.
虽然民调显示特朗普总统的支持率低迷，民主党被看好能赢得众议院并有望夺回参议院，但这并不意味着选民对民主党感到满意。我们的调查发现：进步派参议院候选人安吉·尼克松正挑战共和党参议员阿什利·穆迪，在提及她的视频中，约70%的内容对她持正面态度——这是在超过30条视频中出现的26名民主党人中最高的比例。政治播客主持人也最喜欢她。有线电视新闻则不然：讨论她的节目中，只有15%持正面态度。
While polls show President Trump’s approval is low and Democrats are favored to win the House and in contention to flip the Senate, that doesn’t mean voters are pleased with the Democratic Party. Here’s what we found: Nixon, the progressive Senate nominee challenging Republican Sen. Ashley Moody, was portrayed favorably in about 70% of the videos that mentioned her, the highest share of the 26 Democrats who appeared in more than 30 videos. Political podcasters liked her the most, too.
在最受欢迎的赞美她的TikTok视频中，尼克松的吸引力更多源于对她的攻击——更重要的是，这为创作者提供了一个反击的机会。右翼影响者劳拉·卢默在八月底使用种族主义言辞攻击尼克松，而驳斥其攻击的视频获得的观看量超过了关于该候选人的任何其他内容。
Cable news didn’t: Of the programs that discussed her, 15% were favorable. Among the most-watched TikTok videos praising her, Nixon’s draw was less about her platform specifics and more about attacks on her—and, above all, an opportunity for creators to deliver a clapback.
尼克松的主张——全民医保、普惠托儿所、禁止企业政治行动委员会捐款以及对亿万富翁征收更高税——被提及的频率较低。
Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer attacked Nixon using racist terms in late August, and the videos rebutting the attack drew more views than anything else about the candidate.
尼克松今年加入了美国民主社会主义者组织，但拒绝被贴上社会主义者的标签。她在八月因在佛罗里达州民主党参议院初选中击败一位资金雄厚、获得建制派支持的温和派候选人而引起轰动。她在红州佛罗里达州的弱势竞选，得到了伯尼·桑德斯参议员（佛蒙特州，无党派）和亚历山德拉·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯众议员（纽约州，民主党）等进步派偶像的支持。
Nixon’s positions—Medicare for All, universal child care, no corporate PAC money and higher taxes on billionaires—came up less often. Nixon, who joined the Democratic Socialists of America this year but has rejected being labeled a socialist, made waves in August when she beat a heavily funded, establishment-backed moderate candidate in Florida’s Democratic Senate primary. Her underdog campaign in red-state Florida has drawn support from progressive icons like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.).
在《华尔街日报》的分析中，约57%关于舒默的视频将其描绘得不利，这是所有被分析的民主党政客中最差的。批评主要集中在他处理外交政策方面，如以色列在加沙的战争和伊朗战争，忽视对尼克松等造反候选人的支持，以及如果民主党夺回参议院控制权，他是否会当选多数党领袖这一普遍问题。这一模式在政治播客中也同样存在，他在那里也是被描绘得最不利的民主党人。
Schumer was portrayed unfavorably in about 57% of the videos about him, the worst of all the Democratic politicians in the Journal’s analysis. The criticisms dealt primarily with his handling of foreign policy like Israel’s war in Gaza and the Iran war, neglecting support for insurgent candidates like Nixon—and the general question of whether he will be elected majority leader, should Democrats flip the Senate. The pattern held on political podcasts, where he was the most unfavorably portrayed Democrat, too.
我们分析的视频中，超过三分之一对整个民主党持不利态度。约25%持有利态度。
More than a third of the videos in our analysis portrayed unfavorable attitudes toward the Democratic Party as a whole. About 25% were favorable.
批评者的共同点是，民主党脱离了群众——但这取决于你问谁。一半声称该党已被社会主义者控制的视频来自保守媒体、共和党竞选团队和剪辑账号（即转发他人视频片段的账号）。呼吁该党进一步向左转的视频大多是个人性质的：83%来自以个人身份发帖的人，而非来自媒体、竞选团队或组织。
A common thread among critics is that the Democratic Party is out of touch—but it depends on whom you ask. Half the videos claiming the party had been overrun by socialists came from conservative media, Republican campaigns and clippers (accounts that repost snippets from other people’s videos). Videos calling for the party to move further to the left were overwhelmingly personal: 83% came from people posting as themselves rather than from an outlet, campaign or organization.

随着今年极左翼候选人在全国范围内的民主党初选中取得多场胜利，民主党在意识谱系上应处于何种位置一直是广泛辩论的话题。
Where Democrats should land on the ideological spectrum has been the subject of much debate as far-left candidates have scored several wins in Democratic primaries across the country this year.
这些选举结果引发了党内关于未来走向的激烈争论：进步派主张对当前的经济与政治现状作出更多变革，而中间派则警告称，过度向左转可能会削弱民主党在关键选区的胜算。
The results have intensified a fight over the party’s future, with progressives pushing for more changes to the economic and political status quo, while centrists warn that moving too far to the left could hurt Democrats’ chances in competitive races.
在众多民主党候选人中，密歇根州参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德的视频观看量最高。我们的分析显示，在有关他的视频中，41%持，40%为中立评价，18%则持。
No Democrat drew more views than Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. Our analysis found that 41% of the videos about him were favorable, compared with 40% that were neutral and 18% that were unfavorable.
