朱利安·卡萨布兰卡斯倾向于“扎根体育”卡马拉·哈里斯-蒂姆·沃尔兹门票

自从支持伯尼·桑德斯参加 2020 年总统选举以来，朱利安·卡萨布兰卡斯一直没有改变对美国政治的看法。

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 采访时分享了他对即将到来的美国总统大选的看法。

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年总统选举中支持伯尼·桑德斯的卡萨布兰卡斯最初在接受采访时犹豫是否要分享他对候选人的看法。

“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.”

“我真的没有任何感觉，”他说。 “我想我是卡马拉·哈里斯的副总统[竞选伙伴][蒂姆]沃尔兹的体育支持者。他看起来是一个诚实、正派的人。因此，就他而言，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。”

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.”

他继续说道，“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。”

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.”

卡萨布兰卡斯此前曾表达过对两党制度和选民缺乏选择的不满。在 2018 年接受 Vulture 采访时，他表示：“我们本质上处于战争状态，一场针对计算器的现代战争。我认为企业应该蓬勃发展，理论上我们有一个良好的体系，但问题是它的发展没有任何形式的束缚……真相和人类苦难并不是企业利润等式的一部分。”

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.

几年后，在 The Strokes 举行“Get Out the Vote Concert Rally”之前，卡萨布兰卡斯称赞桑德斯是“唯一真正的非企业候选人”。在表演期间，该乐队特别演唱了《纽约警察》，这是一首批评纽约市执法部门的歌曲。

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 举办了一场音乐会来支持纽约市市长候选人玛雅·威利 (Maya Wiley)，卡萨布兰卡斯称这是“一生一次的机会，可以帮助将一位不可思议的人提升到可以保护公众的权力位置。”他继续说，“我们需要选举值得信赖的人，这样当需要闭门做出艰难决定时，我们知道纽约市人民将受到保护，并尽可能得到最好的照顾。”

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.”

上个月，查普尔·罗恩在接受《卫报》采访时就选举“双方的问题”发表了类似的评论。她随后在 TikTok 上发表了两则声明，其中第一篇澄清说，她鼓励人们“运用批判性思维技能”。罗恩在后续视频中表示，她投票给哈里斯，同时强调“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.

虽然卡萨布兰卡斯和罗恩给出了不支持候选人的理由，但他们的许多同龄人都站出来支持哈里斯，包括泰勒·斯威夫特、查理·XCX、碧昂丝、比莉·艾利什和芬尼斯、梅根·西·斯塔林、杰森·伊斯贝尔和邦·伊弗。
