朱利安·卡薩布蘭卡斯傾向於“紮根體育”卡馬拉·哈里斯-蒂姆·沃爾茲門票

自從支持伯尼·桑德斯參加 2020 年總統選舉以來，朱利安·卡薩布蘭卡斯就沒有改變對美國政治的看法。

The Strokes and The Voidz frontman Julian Casablancas has shared his thoughts on the upcoming US presidential election in a recent interview with NME.

The Strokes 和 The Voidz 主唱 Julian Casablancas 在最近接受 NME 採訪時分享了他對即將到來的美國總統大選的看法。

Casablancas, who supported Bernie Sanders in the 2020 presidential election, was initially hesitant to share his opinion on the candidates when asked by the interviewer.

在2020年總統選舉中支持伯尼·桑德斯的卡薩布蘭卡斯最初在接受采訪時猶豫是否要分享他對候選人的看法。

“I feel nothing, really,” he said. “I guess I’m kind of sports-rooting for the vice presidential [running mate] of Kamala Harris, [Tim] Walz. He seems like an honest, decent person. So just for him, I suppose I’ll be sports-rooting for that team more than the other team, but I think they’re both two sides of the same corporate coin.”

「我真的沒有任何感覺，」他說。 「我想我是卡馬拉·哈里斯的副總統[競選夥伴][蒂姆]沃爾茲的體育支持者。他看起來是個誠實、正派的人。因此，就他而言，我想我會比其他球隊更支持那支球隊的體育運動，但我認為他們都是同一個企業硬幣的兩面。

He continued, “Emotionally, a woman of color and all that — sure, let’s just get that out of the way and check that box so we can move forward. But, in terms of what people actually want, neither of the parties offer that — they just have a stranglehold on power.”

他繼續說道，「從情感上來說，一個有色人種女性等等——當然，讓我們把它排除在外，勾選那個框，這樣我們就可以繼續前進。但是，就人們真正想要的東西而言，兩黨都沒有提供——他們只是控制了權力。

Casablancas has previously spoken out about his dissatisfaction with the two-party system and the lack of choice for voters. In a 2018 interview with Vulture, he said, “We’re essentially at war, a modern war against a calculator. I think corporations should thrive and we have a good system theoretically, but the problem is that it’s evolved without any sort of leash… Truth and human suffering are not part of the equation of corporate profit.”

卡薩布蘭卡斯此前曾表達過對兩黨制度和選民缺乏選擇的不滿。在 2018 年接受 Vulture 採訪時，他表示：「我們本質上處於戰爭狀態，一場針對計算器的現代戰爭。我認為企業應該蓬勃發展，理論上我們有一個良好的體系，但問題是它的發展沒有任何形式的束縛……真相和人類苦難並不是企業利潤等式的一部分。

A few years later, Casablancas praised Sanders as “the only truly non-corporate candidate” before The Strokes played his “Get Out the Vote Concert Rally.” During their performance, the group notably sang “New York City Cops,” a track criticizing New York City law enforcement.

幾年後，在 The Strokes 舉行“Get Out the Vote Concert Rally”之前，卡薩布蘭卡斯稱讚桑德斯是“唯一真正的非企業候選人”。在表演期間，樂團特別演唱了《紐約警察》，這是一首批評紐約市執法部門的歌曲。

In 2021, The Strokes held a concert in support of New York City mayoral candidate Maya Wiley, which Casablancas called a “once in a lifetime opportunity to help elevate an incredible person to a position of power where they can protect the public.” He continued, “We need to elect trustworthy people so when hard decisions need to be made behind closed doors, we know the people of NYC will be protected and in the best hands possible.”

2021 年，The Strokes 舉辦了一場音樂會來支持紐約市長候選人瑪雅·威利(Maya Wiley)，卡薩布蘭卡斯稱這是“一生一次的機會，可以幫助將一位不可思議的人提升到可以保護公眾的權力位置。他繼續說，“我們需要選舉值得信賴的人，這樣當需要閉門做出艱難決定時，我們知道紐約市人民將受到保護，並儘可能得到最好的照顧。”

Last month, Chappell Roan made similar comments about “problems on both sides” of the election in an interview with The Guardian. She followed up with a pair of statements on TikTok, the first of which clarified that she was encouraging people to “use critical thinking skills.” In her follow-up video, Roan said she was voting for Harris while emphasizing that “endorsing and voting are completely different.”

上個月，查普爾·羅恩在接受《衛報》採訪時就選舉「雙方的問題」發表了類似的評論。她隨後在 TikTok 上發表了兩則聲明，其中第一篇澄清說，她鼓勵人們「運用批判性思考技能」。羅恩在後續影片中表示，她投票給哈里斯，同時強調「支持和投票是完全不同的」。

While Casablancas and Roan have given their reasons for not endorsing a candidate, many of their peers have come out in support of Harris, including Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish and FINNEAS, Megan Thee Stallion, Jason Isbell, and Bon Iver.

雖然卡薩布蘭卡斯和羅恩給出了不支持候選人的理由，但他們的許多同齡人都站出來支持哈里斯，包括泰勒絲、查理XCX、碧昂絲、比莉艾利甚和芬尼斯、梅根·西·斯塔林、傑森·伊斯貝爾和邦·伊弗。
