美国洛杉矶和华盛顿特区周二各选举产生了一位社会主义者市长,这意味着目前全美前二十大城市中已有四座由社会主义者领导人掌舵。
Two socialist mayors were elected in the United States on Tuesday in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. which now means that four of the top 20 largest cities in the country have socialist leaders at the helm.
美国民主社会主义者(DSA)成员、洛杉矶市议员尼蒂娅·拉曼(Nithya Raman)击败了现任市长凯伦·巴斯(Karen Bass),并将于12月就职,担任洛杉矶市区约400万居民的市长。
Los Angeles Councilwoman Nithya Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) defeated incumbent mayor Karen Bass and will take office in December as mayor for the roughly 4 million residents of Los Angeles proper.
同样在周二取得胜利的还有美国民主社会主义者成员珍妮丝·刘易斯·乔治(Janeese Lewis George),她轻松胜选,成为华盛顿特区的候任市长。该市拥有约7万居民。
Also victorious on Tuesday was DSA member Janeese Lewis George who coasted to victory to become mayor-elect of Washington, D.C., a city of roughly 700,000 residents.
随着乔治和拉曼加入西雅图市长凯蒂·威尔逊(Katie Wilson)和纽约市长佐兰·马姆达尼(Zohran Mamdani)的行列,全美前二十大人口最多城市中的社会主义者市长人数达到了四位。
The list of socialist mayors in the top 20 most populous U.S. cities stands at 4, as George and Raman join Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
这四座城市总计约有1400万人口。这一数字还不包括邻近的郊区,这些郊区仍可能通过犯罪、房地产价值和更广泛的商业环境感受到城市范围内所实施政策的影响。城市中的问题可能会蔓延至周边社区,而在市内工作的郊区居民也可能受到直接影响。
In total, the four cities are home to roughly 14 million people. That figure does not include neighboring suburbs, which could still feel the effects of policies enacted within city limits through crime, real estate values and the broader business climate. Problems in a city can spill over into surrounding communities, while suburban residents who work in the city may also be directly affected.
如果算上这四座城市大都市圈的人口,大约有4400万民众可能会受到这四位市长实施的社会主义政策的正面或负面影响。
Counting the population in the metro areas of those four cities, roughly 44 million people could be affected either positively and negatively by the socialist policies enacted by the four mayors.
“这使得洛杉矶成为第四个将拥有社会主义者市长的大城市,加入了纽约、华盛顿特区和西雅图的行列,”传统基金会研究员迈克·冈萨雷斯(Mike Gonzalez)周四在X平台上发帖称。“芝加哥市长是个丑角,但他并不自称是美国民主社会主义者成员。美国曾是抵御马克思主义不可攻破的堡垒,而现在马克思主义者占领了大学。”
"This makes LA the fourth large city that will now have a socialist mayor, joining New York, Washington DC and Seattle," Heritage Foundation fellow Mike Gonzalez posted on X Thursday. "Chicago's mayor is a buffoon, but he doesn't identify as DSA. America used to be an impregnable fortress against Marxism, then Marxists took over universities."

社会主义者的胜利并不局限于市政府。选民还选举了七名获得美国民主社会主义者支持或与之相关的候选人进入众议院:来自纽约的克莱尔·瓦尔德斯(Claire Valdez)、布兰德·兰德尔(Brand Lander)和达里亚利萨·阿维拉·谢瓦利埃(Darializa Avila Chevalier),来自宾夕法尼亚州的克里斯·拉布(Chris Rabb),来自科罗拉多州的梅拉特·基罗斯(Melat Kiros),来自密歇根州的多纳万·麦金尼(Donavan McKinney)以及来自加利福尼亚州的安吉拉·冈萨雷斯-托雷斯(Angela Gonzales-Torres)。
The socialist victories were not limited to city halls. Voters also elected seven DSA-backed or affiliated candidates to the House: Claire Valdez, Brand Lander and Darializa Avila Chevalier of New York, Chris Rabb of Pennsylvania, Melat Kiros of Colorado, Donavan McKinney of Michigan and Angela Gonzales-Torres of California.
几位其他与社会主义政策相关的候选人也在周二进入国会或成功连任。
Several other candidates associated with socialist policies also entered Congress or were re-elected on Tuesday.

福克斯新闻近期的一项全国民调显示,32%的选民对社会主义持好感,64%的人持反感态度。但这一好感度追平了五年前首次达到历史最高纪录的水平,自福克斯新闻于2019年开始提出该问题以来尚属首次。而盖洛普9月的一项民调发现,43%的美国人对社会主义有着积极的印象,达到了该民调机构自2010年开始追踪该问题以来的最高水平。
A recent Fox News national poll indicated 32% of voters have a favorable view of socialism, with 64% seeing it in an unfavorable way. But the favorable rating matches an all-time high, first reached five years ago, since Fox News first began asking the question in 2019. And a September Gallup poll found that 43% of Americans had a positive image of socialism, the highest level since the polling organization began tracking the question in 2010.
