Two Groups in the Democratic Party
民主黨內的兩個群體
Introduction
Some Democratic leaders want to move away from socialist ideas. They did this after some socialist candidates won elections in New York.
一些民主黨領導人希望擺脫社會主義思想。他們這樣做是因為一些社會主義候選人在紐約贏得了選舉。
Main Body
A group called 'Promise America' started this move. They like capitalism and strong borders. They want normal voters to feel safe with the party. They do not want people to think the party is communist.
一個名為「Promise America」的團體發起了這次行動。他們支持資本主義和強有力的邊境管制。他們希望一般選民對該黨感到安心。他們不希望人們認為該黨是共產主義。
Other leaders, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, disagree. They like socialist ideas. They say young people like these new ideas. They think the 'Promise America' group has no new plans.
其他領導人，例如 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez，則不同意。他們支持社會主義思想。他們表示年輕人喜歡這些新想法。他們認為「Promise America」團體沒有任何新計劃。
Some new candidates have very different ideas. They want the government to own businesses. They also have different ideas about other countries. This makes the two groups in the party argue more.
一些新候選人的想法截然不同。他們希望政府擁有企業。他們對其他國家的看法也不同。這使得黨內兩個群體之間的爭論更加激烈。
Conclusion

民主黨分為兩個群體。一個群體支持舊有的商業規則，另一個群體則希望進行大規模的社會主義變革。
Vocabulary Learning
💡 The Power of "Want"
In this text, we see a very useful pattern for A2 learners. When we talk about goals or desires, we use Want + To + Action.
Look at these examples from the story:
- Leaders want to move away.
- Groups want normal voters to feel safe.
- Candidates want the government to own businesses.
How to use it in your life:
- Want + to [verb] I want to learn English.
- Want + [person] + to [verb] I want you to help me.
Quick Tip: Notice that after "want to," the action word stays in its simplest form. No "-ing," no "-ed." Just the basic word!
