为何重要:同一社会主义运动在纽约市长佐兰·马姆达尼(Zohran Mamdani)上台后,如今正辩论是否在洛杉矶选民投票前与尼蒂亚·拉曼(Nithya Raman)划清界限。

A fight over Israel is fracturing the socialist movement just as it stands within reach of capturing the Los Angeles mayor's office Why it matters: The same socialist movement celebrating its ascendancy through New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is now debating whether to disown Nithya Raman before Los Angeles voters can even weigh in.

  • 美国民主社会主义者全国组织(DSA)领导人面临要求撤销地方分部对拉曼的背书,因为她在针对以色列的抵制、撤资与制裁(BDS)运动上的立场。

• National Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) leaders face demands to overturn the local chapter's endorsement of Raman over her position on the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.

  • DSA洛杉矶分部仍热情背书拉曼,理由是洛杉矶市民需要一个运转正常的城市政府。

• The Los Angeles chapter of DSA still enthusiastically endorses Raman, arguing Angelenos deserve a functioning city government.

  • 市长竞选的焦点是无家可归、住房负担和公共安全。

• The mayoral race has been defined by homelessness, affordability and public safety.

数据概览:在11月3日选举前的最新民调中,拉曼领先在任市长凯伦·巴斯(Karen Bass),但仍有大量选民未决定。

By the numbers: Raman leads incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in recent polls ahead of the Nov. 3 election, though many voters remain undecided.

  • 综合来看:9月伯克利IGS/《洛杉矶时报》民调显示拉曼以39%对28%领先,33%未决定。更近期的曼哈顿研究所民调显示拉曼以38%对32%领先,30%未决定。

• Overall: A September Berkeley IGS/L.A. Times poll put Raman ahead 39%-28%, with 33% undecided. A more recent Manhattan Institute poll showed Raman leading 38%-32%, with 30% undecided.

  • 在可能投票的拉美裔选民中:伯克利民调显示拉曼以45%对21%领先,34%未决定。

• Among likely Latino voters: Raman led 45%-21%, with 34% undecided in the Berkeley poll.

  • 在社会主义者中:DSA洛杉矶分部以937票对484票背书拉曼,另有52票弃权。

• Among socialists: DSA's Los Angeles chapter endorsed Raman in a 937-484 vote, with 52 abstentions.

当前局面: 10月4日,DSA全国政治委员会认定该分部因未就BDS向拉曼询问而违反背书规则,但未撤销其支持。

State of play: On Oct. 4, DSA's National Political Committee found that the chapter violated endorsement rules by failing to ask Raman about BDS, but stopped short of invalidating its support.

  • 据《名利场》报道,全国领导人曾考虑撤销背书并禁止该分部使用资源为她竞选拉票的提案。

• National leaders have considered proposals to revoke the endorsement and bar the chapter from using resources to campaign for her, per Vanity Fair.

  • DSA内部一个派系呼吁就拉曼的巴勒斯坦立场进行质询,若全国领导人认定其立场与组织原则不符,可能将其开除。

• A DSA faction has called for questioning Raman about her views on Palestine, with possible expulsion if national leaders find her positions incompatible with the group's principles.

争议焦点:美国民主社会主义者组织公布的背书要求称,候选人必须积极支持BDS,并避免与以色列政府或“犹太复国主义游说团体”有关联。• 民主社会主义者组织拒绝置评。

Sticking point: The Democratic Socialists of America's published endorsement requirements say candidates must actively support BDS and avoid affiliations with the Israeli government or "Zionist lobbying groups." • The DSA declined to comment.

聚焦:拉曼此前已与民主社会主义者组织决裂,包括在以色列、警务和住房问题上。

Zoom in: Raman has broken with DSA before, including on Israel, policing and housing.

  • 民主社会主义者组织洛杉矶分会于2024年因她接受以色列民主党-洛杉矶分会的背书而对其进行谴责,但仍维持支持。

• DSA-LA censured her in 2024 for accepting an endorsement from Democrats for Israel-Los Angeles but maintained its support.

  • 她投票批准洛杉矶警察局局长吉姆·麦克唐纳,违背民主社会主义者组织的反对意见,并寻求修改洛杉矶的豪宅税。

• She voted to approve LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell over DSA objections and sought changes to L.A.'s mansion tax.

  • 在9月29日的犹太选民论坛上,拉曼为自己称以色列在加沙的军事行动为种族灭绝进行辩护,但拒绝将BDS列入她的市政纲领。拉曼表示,她认为以色列有生存权。

• At a September 29 Jewish voter forum, Raman defended calling Israel's military campaign in Gaza genocide but declined to put BDS on her municipal platform. Raman said she believes Israel has a right to exist.

他们说:拉曼一直强调自己与民主社会主义者组织保持独立。

What they're saying: Raman has stressed her independence from DSA.

  • “我的独立将始终至关重要,”据美联社报道,她在犹太论坛上这样说。

• "My independence will always be paramount," she told the Jewish forum, according to AP.

  • 次晚,拉曼向Axios和Telemundo新闻描述她对社会主义的看法时称之为“下水道社会主义”或“补坑政治”,并补充说:“我只希望政府能为人民服务。”

• The next night, Raman described her approach to socialism to Axios and Noticias Telemundo as "sewer socialism" or "pothole politics," adding: "I just want government to work for the people."

拉曼不是第一位因以色列问题与民主社会主义者组织发生冲突的知名进步派人士。

Raman isn't the first prominent progressive to clash with DSA over Israel.

  • 民主社会主义者组织全国领导层于2024年7月撤回了对众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯(民主党-纽约州)的有条件全国背书,原因是涉及以色列和BDS的要求未得到满足。其纽约市分会继续支持她。

• National DSA leaders withdrew a conditional national endorsement of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in July 2024 over unmet demands involving Israel and BDS. Its New York City chapter continued supporting her.

  • 3月,奥卡西奥-科尔特斯承诺反对美国对以色列的所有资助,包括防御性武器。随后,纽约市的民主社会主义者组织分会在超过500票反对的情况下,仍背书支持她连任。

• In March, Ocasio-Cortez pledged to oppose all U.S. funding for Israel, including defensive weapons. New York City's DSA chapter subsequently endorsed her reelection despite more than 500 opposing votes.
