Democrats in competitive midterm races are increasingly declaring themselves proud capitalists, worried that Republican accusations of socialism and communism could sway critical swing voters this November, interviews with candidates and a review of campaign materials show.
根據對候選人的訪談，以及對競選文宣的檢視，民主黨候選人投入競爭激烈的期中選舉之際，越來越多人公開宣稱自己以資本主義者身分為榮，擔心共和黨指控他們支持社會主義、共產主義，可能影響今年11月的關鍵搖擺選民。
The effort represents an extraordinary moment in US politics, where Democrats who have long operated within a capitalist system as one of the country’s two major parties now feel compelled to emphasize their commitment to a market-based economy on the campaign trail.
此舉反映美國政治一個罕見的現象。民主黨作為美國兩大政黨之一，長期以來一直在資本主義體制下運作，如今卻被逼著在競選期間強調自己支持以市場為基礎的經濟體制。
Dozens of Democrats in tight races are declaring their support for capitalism in social media posts, town halls and TV appearances as President Donald Trump and Republicans intensify efforts to cast them as dangerous radicals bent on turning America into a socialist state.
隨著總統川普與共和黨人加大攻勢，把民主黨人描繪成想把美國變成社會主義國家的危險激進分子，數十名選情緊繃的民主黨候選人，紛紛透過社群媒體貼文、市民大會及電視節目中，公開表態支持資本主義。
