独家报道: 随着中期选举仅剩不到两周时间,且在得到社会主义势力支持的候选人取得压倒性胜利后,一个保守派组织警告称,极左翼的议程会让美国人的生活变得更糟。
FIRST ON FOX: With the midterms less than two weeks away and after socialist-backed candidates notched sweeping primary victories, a conservative group is warning the far-left agenda will leave Americans worse off.
“Advancing American Freedom”(AAF)组织于周三推出了名为“DSA Exposed”的网站。该网站首次由福克斯新闻数字部门(Fox News Digital)公开发布,批评了美国民主社会主义者协会(Democratic Socialists of America, DSA)提出的12项政策建议,这些建议包括推行全民医疗保健、将主要产业收归国有、废除参议院及美国移民与海关执法局(ICE),以及停止对以色列的援助。
Advancing American Freedom (AAF) launched "DSA Exposed" on Wednesday. First obtained by Fox News Digital, the website critiques 12 Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) proposals, including universal healthcare, public ownership of major industries, abolishing the Senate and ICE and ending aid to Israel.
AAF认为这些政策会彻底改变美国的社会结构——而且这种改变绝非朝着积极的方向发展。该网站详细分析了这些政策对医疗、就业、住房及经济领域的潜在影响。
AAF argues the proposals would reshape American life — and not for the better. Its site examines their potential effects on healthcare, work, housing and the economy.
AAF主席蒂姆·查普曼(Tim Chapman)对福克斯新闻数字部门表示:“在很大程度上,这次选举被视为一场针对特朗普总统的公投,但民主党人的政策选择同样值得密切审视——甚至更值得关注,因为他们的政策动机实在令人担忧。”
"In many ways, this election is being framed as a referendum on President Trump, but the Democrats deserve just as much scrutiny and more because of what motivates their actual policy preferences," AAF President Tim Chapman told Fox News Digital.
在周三发给国会各办公室的信中,查普曼将DSA的议程称为“反美的极端主义”,并敦促立法者谴责其“反犹言论”。他写道:“DSA可能是美国历史上对美国人的生命、自由以及幸福追求构成最大威胁的力量之一。”
In a letter sent to congressional offices Wednesday outlining the new tool, Chapman called the DSA’s agenda "un-American extremism" and urged lawmakers to condemn its "antisemitic rhetoric." "The DSA represents one of the greatest threats to Americans’ life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness in perhaps American history," he wrote.
该网站还制作了一份关于社会主义政府的可视化时间线,涵盖了从20世纪初至今的各个社会主义政权:从苏联到如今的古巴,时间线清楚地展示了这些政权是持续执政还是最终垮台。
The website also lays out a visual timeline of socialist governments dating back to the 1900s. From the Soviet Union to present-day Cuba, the timeline shows whether each government remained in power or ultimately collapsed.
查普曼指出,DSA最严重的问题在于其主张增加政府干预经济的力度。他认为,这种做法反而会加剧经济问题的严重性:“他们试图让更多的官僚来掌控经济,而这恰恰是导致经济衰退的根本原因。”
Chapman said the DSA’s biggest issue is its call for greater government involvement. He argued this could have the opposite effect on affordability than intended.
今年,由于多名得到DSA支持的候选人在民主党初选中获胜,社会主义思想在美国政治中的影响力日益增强。
"They're going to put more bureaucrats in charge of the economy and this is the thing that's actually dragging down the economy," he said.
DSA(民主社会主义者协会)获得的一些重要支持者包括:纽约州民主党众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯(Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez)、密歇根州民主党众议员拉希达·特莱布(Rashida Tlaib)、纽约州议会议员克莱尔·瓦尔德斯(Claire Valdez)、纽约州联邦众议院候选人达里亚利扎·阿维拉·谢瓦利埃(Darializa Avila Chevalier),以及宾夕法尼亚州州众议员克里斯·拉布(Chris Rabb)。
Socialism has become increasingly embedded in American politics after several candidates backed by the DSA prevailed in their Democratic primaries this year. Some of the DSA’s most prominent endorsements include Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., New York Assemblywoman Claire Valdez, U.S. House candidate for New York Darializa Avila Chevalier and Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb.

DSA的迅速崛起让许多民主党人开始质疑该党的未来,以及它是否会更进一步地向左翼倾斜。
The DSA’s upward momentum has left many Democrats questioning the future of the party and whether it could shift further to the left.
根据福克斯新闻(Fox News)10月份的一项民意调查,32%的选民对社会主义持积极态度,这一比例比一年前上升了5个百分点;而3月份的一项调查显示,53%的30岁以下选民支持从资本主义转向社会主义。
An October Fox News Poll found 32% of voters view socialism favorably, up five points from a year ago, while a March poll found 53% of voters under 30 favored moving away from capitalism toward socialism.
查普曼(Chapman)指出:“政治风向的转变”让美国年轻人对两党在经济问题上的处理方式感到极度失望。他说:“目前,右翼和左翼都采取了民粹主义政策,但在经济管理方面,这两派都彻底失败了。”他强调,两党都需要做出改进,以防止社会主义思潮进一步蔓延,并指责民主党领导层因担心失去选民基础而不敢与DSA的政策划清界限。他警告说:“解决办法不是将权力交给左翼的民主社会主义者,因为他们只会让情况变得更糟。”
Chapman said "a pendulum swing" has left young Americans with "great frustration" over both parties’ handling of the economy. "Right now, you're having populist politics on the right, and you're having populist on the left and both are massively failing when it comes to the economy," he said. He said both parties need to do better to prevent an "opening" for socialism and accused Democratic leaders of being hesitant to distance themselves from DSA-aligned policies for fear of losing their party’s base. "The answer is not to give the authority to the democratic socialists on the left, because they'll actually drive it further into the hole," he said.

随着选民们准备在11月投票,查普曼希望该网站能帮助人们深入了解社会主义政党的纲领及其与美国人优先事项之间的差距。他表示:“尽管这些社会主义者只是民主党中的少数派,但他们才是党内的核心力量,是这场运动的真正推动力。我认为党的领导层最终会不得不顺应这种民意。”
As voters head to the polls in November, Chapman hopes the website offers a "deep dive" into socialist platforms and how they stack up against Americans’ priorities. "Even though they may be a minority of the party, they are the energy within the party," Chapman said. "They’re the beating heart of the movement and I think that the leadership of the party will probably kowtow to that base energy."
