對於一個分裂嚴重的美國來說，拋硬幣就足夠了

儘管各政黨努力將自己定位為提供真正的對比，但候選人只呈現了一種選擇的幻覺

The 2024 US presidential election was a close race, with Donald Trump ultimately securing enough Electoral College votes to win. The candidates' stark differences gave the illusion of choice, but in reality, both were trying to capture the voter. Despite the political parties' efforts to present themselves as offering a contrasting vision, the candidates' platforms were largely similar.

2024 年美國總統選舉是一場勢均力敵的競選，唐納德·川普最終獲得了足夠的選舉團票數獲勝。兩位候選人的明顯差異給人一種選擇的錯覺，但實際上，兩人都在試圖贏得選民。儘管各政黨努力將自己呈現為提供截然不同的願景，但候選人的政綱大致相似。

The quantitative mechanism of elections isn't a big deal in China. It would be wrong to say it's not there; China does have elections, though only at the lowest local levels. This, I almost want to say after the undignified spectacle in the US, is a genuine blessing.

選舉的數量機制在中國並不是什麼大不了的事。說它不存在是錯誤的。中國確實有選舉，不過只是在最低的地方層級。在經歷了美國的不體面景象之後，我幾乎想說，這是真正的祝福。
