We must stop holding as a broad cultural expectation the idea that African Americans need to overperform in the voting booth to stave off fascism. Black people, especially Black women, consistently show up in large numbers to insist that America does not have to go the way of white supremacists and fascists. Based on the early numbers in this election, Black people could break records in places like Georgia and Texas. It is the energy that young Black voters are bringing back to the South—helped along by the vision of Stacey Abrams—that might actually change the political landscape of the country.
有一种普遍的文化期待认为非裔美国人需要在投票中表现出色才能避免法西斯主义,我们必须停止这么认为
And it is white voters, and increasing numbers of men across racial demographics, who show up to kill the hope of an expanded democracy. If Trump wins, white Democrats might have to accept what so many of us who are not white already know: the future of the country is young, Black and brown. Those are the people who represent where progressive politics is headed, and it is their votes that should be courted.
是白人选民以及越来越多跨越种族人口的男性的出现扼杀了扩大民主的希望
As Abrams' own trajectory proves, Black turnout alone cannot best state-sanctioned voter suppression. Liberal politicians and commentators need to remember this, too, as they try to explain what happened in this election. If Biden and Harris prevail, it will be because Black voters overwhelmed the system. But white people—all white people—must stop holding this as the expectation and the standard. White voters overperform in their support for white-supremacist candidates, and white folks must grapple with the reasons as we determine what the story of 21st century American politics will be.
正如艾布拉姆斯自己的经历所证明的那样,仅凭黑人的投票并不能最好地通过国家制裁来压制选民
