朱利安·卡萨布兰卡斯表示，他对即将到来的美国大选中的任何一方都没有强烈的好感

2020 年，卡萨布兰卡斯与 The Strokes 的其他成员一起支持伯尼·桑德斯 (Bernie Sanders)，后者在民主党候选人竞选中输给了乔·拜登

The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas has said that he feels no particular affinity to either party in the upcoming US election, referring to the candidates as “both sides of the same corporate coin”.

Strokes 主唱朱利安·卡萨布兰卡斯 (Julian Casablancas) 表示，在即将到来的美国大选中，他对任何一方都没有特别的好感，称候选人是“同一个企业硬币的两面”。

In 2020, Casablancas and the rest of The Strokes backed Bernie Sanders, who lost out to Joe Biden in the race to become the Democratic party’s candidate for the presidency. The band performed at a rally for the Democrat candidate at the beginning of the year and later called for Biden to choose Sanders as his running mate in the election.

2020 年，卡萨布兰卡斯和 The Strokes 的其他成员支持伯尼·桑德斯，但桑德斯在民主党总统候选人竞选中输给了乔·拜登。该乐队在年初为民主党候选人举行的集会上表演，后来呼吁拜登选择桑德斯作为竞选搭档。

When asked how he felt about the upcoming US presidential election, however, the singer said: “Nothing”. Casablancas was speaking to NME in September, ahead of the release of The Voidz third album ‘Like All Before You’.

然而，当被问及他对即将到来的美国总统大选有何感想时，这位歌手说：“没什么”。九月，在 The Voidz 第三张专辑《Like All Before You》发行之前，Casablancas 接受了 NME 采访。

“To be super middle of the road, I would say the vice presidential [running mate] of Kamala Harris, [Tim] Walz – he seems like an honest, decent person,” he continued. “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.

“我想说的是卡马拉·哈里斯的副总统[竞选伙伴]蒂姆·沃尔兹，他看起来是一个诚实、正派的人，”他继续说道。 “所以对于他来说，我想我会比其他球队更支持那支球队的体育运动，但我认为他们都是同一个企业硬币的两面。

“Emotionally, a woman of colour 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.”

“从情感上来说，一个有色人种女性等等——当然，让我们把它排除在外，勾选那个框，这样我们就可以继续前进。但是，就人们真正想要的东西而言，两党都没有提供——他们只是控制了权力。”

Similar remarks were made by Chappell Roan earlier this year, when she said she wasn’t going to throw her undivided support behind any one candidate in the election, due to “problems” on both sides.

查普尔·罗恩(Chappell Roan)今年早些时候也发表过类似言论，当时她表示，由于双方都存在“问题”，她不会在选举中全力支持任何一位候选人。

After the backlash from her comments, Roan took to TikTok last week (September 25) to explain that her words had been “completely taken out of context, per usual,” and that “there is nuance” to what she says in interviews. Roan told her followers that she “encouraged people to use critical thinking skills” to “learn about what they’re voting for” and “ask questions”.

在她的言论遭到强烈反对后，罗恩上周（9 月 25 日）在 TikTok 上解释说，她的话“像往常一样完全断章取义”，而且她在采访中所说的“存在细微差别”。罗恩告诉她的追随者，她“鼓励人们运用批判性思维技能”来“了解他们投票的内容”并“提出问题”。

A day later, following continued uproar, she went on to further clarify her stance, saying: “I’m voting for fucking Kamala, but I’m not settling for what has been offered. Because that’s questionable. It’s questionable, the actions of our government, of the internet, of you and me.”

一天后，在持续的骚动之后，她进一步澄清了自己的立场，她说：“我投票给该死的卡马拉，但我不会满足于所提供的条件。因为这是值得怀疑的。我们政府、互联网、你和我的行为都是值得怀疑的。”

Meanwhile, a host of other stars most notably Taylor Swift and Charli XCX, have endorsed Harris as their presidential candidate. Harris has since shared that she is “very proud” of the former’s endorsement while the latter’s tweet was adopted by the Democrat nominee’s campaign team.

与此同时，许多其他明星，尤其是泰勒·斯威夫特和查理·XCX，也支持哈里斯作为他们的总统候选人。哈里斯此后表示，她对前者的支持感到“非常自豪”，而后者的推文被民主党提名人的竞选团队采纳。

Beyoncé, Megan Thee Stallion, P!nk, Bon Iver, Quavo and more have also come out in support of Harris ahead of this November’s election. Billie Eilish and Finneas also recently championed Harris while Eilish’s ‘When the Party’s Over’ recently featured in the Democrat’s Ad on reproductive care.

碧昂丝 (Beyoncé)、梅根·西·斯塔林 (Megan Thee Stallion)、P!nk、邦·伊弗 (Bon Iver)、夸沃 (Quavo) 等人也在今年 11 月的大选前站出来支持哈里斯。比莉·艾利什和芬尼斯最近也支持哈里斯，而艾利什的《当派对结束时》最近出现在民主党关于生殖保健的广告中。
