美國2020總統大選最新猛料：要社會主義！極左派候選人一馬當先

Sen. Bernie Sanders’s win in Nevada following his New Hampshire victory marks the Vermont senator as the clear frontrunner for the Democratic Party nomination.

繼伯尼·桑德斯參議員在新罕布什爾州獲勝之後，他在內華達州再次獲勝，顯然這位佛蒙特州參議員成爲了民主黨候選人中的領先者。

Sanders is a self-described "democratic socialist", and progressive who admires the Nordic model of social democracy and has been a proponent of workplace democracy. He is known for his opposition to economic inequality and neoliberalism.

桑德斯說自己是“民主社會主義者”和開明人士，欣賞北歐模式的社會民主主義，並且一直支持在工作場所實現民主。他以反對經濟不平等和新自由主義而聞名。

On domestic policy, he broadly supports labor rights, and has supported universal and single-payer healthcare, paid parental leave, tuition-free tertiary education, and an ambitious Green New Deal to create jobs addressing climate change.

關於國內政策，他廣泛支持勞工權利。他一直支持單一支付者的全民醫療制度、帶薪育兒假、免費高等教育，以及雄心勃勃的綠色新政，來創造應對氣候變化的就業機會。

Alarm, clearly visible in a range of mainstream Democratic circles over the past several weeks, is now going to kick into overdrive.

最近幾周在民主黨的主流圈子裏明顯能看到恐懼，現在也越來越嚴重。

But this frame of mind is fundamentally misguided. For all the agita around Sanders’s all-or-nothing rhetoric, his behavior as a longtime member of Congress (and before that as a mayor) suggests a much more pragmatic approach to actual legislating than some of the wilder “political revolution” rhetoric would suggest.

但這種心態從根本上說是錯誤的。對於所有圍繞桑德斯孤注一擲的言辭的爭論而言，他這個長期國會議員（之前是市長）的行爲相對一些更瘋狂的“政治革命”言論來說，也是針對實際立法的更加務實的方法。

On the vast majority of issues, a Sanders administration would deliver pretty much the same policy outcomes as any other Democrat. The two biggest exceptions to this, foreign policy and monetary policy, happen to be where Sanders takes issue with an entrenched conventional wisdom that is deeply problematic.

在絕大多數問題上，桑德斯政府和其他民主黨人的政治做法大體相同，但其中兩個最大的例外就是外交政策和貨幣政策，桑德斯碰巧在這兩方面反對根深蒂固而且問題嚴重的傳統觀念。

Some of the anti-Sanders sentiment is driven by pique at his followers’ most obnoxious behavior. But it would be better to bring these voters into the tent than leave them outside attacking inward.

一些人因爲討厭他的追隨者的不當行爲而產生反桑德斯情緒。最好的做法是把這些選民拉入陣營，而非樹敵。
