深度解析美国大选中的“特朗普现象”与“桑德斯现象”

Analysis of the Trump Phenomenon and the Sanders Phenomenon in the U.S. Presidential Election

在2016年美国总统选举的初选阶段,"特朗普现象"与"桑德斯现象"引起了广泛关注。特朗普在共和党内异军突起,桑德斯在民主党内上升势头迅猛,前者主要表达了白人蓝领阶层对美国现状和共和党建制派的愤怒,后者主要表达了美国年轻人和中下层白人对民主党建制派的不满。虽然两人分属左、右两翼,但他们的竞选都带有浓厚的民粹主义色彩,他们的选民基础、竞选策略以及政策立场都有不少相似之处。在"特朗普现象"与"桑德斯现象"背后存在一些共同的原因,其中包括美国中产阶级和白人蓝领阶层的衰落、经济不平等的加剧、美国民主制度陷入困境,以及美国国际地位的下降。

The Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders phenomena have attracted broad attention during theU.S. presidential primary. The sharp rise of Trump in the Republican Party and the rapid riseof Sanders in the Democratic Party have reflected the anger of the white blue-collar classagainst the Republican establishment on the current situation in the United States and thedissatisfaction with the Democratic establishment by the American youth and whitelower-middle class respectively. Although Trump belongs to the right wing, while Sandersrepresents the left wing of American politics, both their campaigns bear strong populist color,and their electoral bases of American politics, campaign tactics and policy stances have quitea few similarities. There are some common causes behind'the Trump phenomenon'and'the Sanders phenomena', including the deterioration of American middle class and the whiteblue collar class, the exacerbation of economic inequality, the quagmire of democraticinstitutions, and changes in the American international status.
