A group of moderate Democratic lawmakers has started a formal project to distance themselves from socialist ideas after progressive candidates won several elections in New York.

在紐約有幾位進步派候選人贏得選舉後，一群溫和派的民主黨議員開始了一項正式計劃，旨在與社會主義思想劃清界限。

The new group, called 'Promise America,' is led by Felix Frisch and Representatives Tom Suozzi and Adam Gray. Their goal is to create a 'mainstream' identity for the Democratic Party. The group, which includes ten members of Congress and five candidates, has signed a pledge that supports capitalist economics, secure borders, and stable government institutions. This movement is a response to the success of candidates supported by Zohran Mamdani, who promotes democratic socialist principles. The group believes this is necessary because Republicans and Donald Trump have used these progressive wins to claim that the party is influenced by 'communists,' which could push away moderate voters.

這個名為「承諾美國」(Promise America) 的新組織由 Felix Frisch 以及眾議員 Tom Suozzi 與 Adam Gray 領導。他們的目標是為民主黨建立一個「主流」身份。該組織包含十位國會議員與五位候選人，他們簽署了一份支持資本主義經濟、邊境安全以及穩定政府機構的誓約。此舉是為了回應由 Zohran Mamdani 支持的候選人所取得的成功，Mamdani 致力於推廣民主社會主義原則。該組織認為此舉十分必要，因為共和黨與川普利用這些進步派的勝利，聲稱該黨受到「共產主義者」影響，這可能會推離溫和派選民。

On the other hand, the progressive wing, including Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ro Khanna, argues that the centrist approach does not offer a real vision for the future. Ocasio-Cortez emphasized that the 'Promise America' pledge is simply a reaction to change rather than a helpful policy plan. She suggested that the party is growing because younger generations are moving toward democratic socialism. This tension is increased by the views of new nominees; for example, Darializa Avila Chevalier has called for the government to take over industries and the removal of ICE, while others hold views on national security that differ from traditional party rules.

另一方面，包括眾議員 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 與 Ro Khanna 在內的進步派則認為，中間路線並未提供真正面向未來的願景。Ocasio-Cortez 強調，「承諾美國」的誓約僅是對變革的反應，而非有助益的政策計劃。她認為該黨之所以成長，是因為年輕世代正向民主社會主義靠攏。新提名人的觀點加劇了這種緊張局勢；例如，Darializa Avila Chevalier 呼籲政府接管工業並廢除 ICE，而其他人對國家安全的看法則與黨內傳統規則有所出入。

Experts from Georgetown University suggest that this conflict is part of a long-term struggle between maintaining a strict ideology and winning elections. While the 'Promise America' group sees the rise of socialism as a risk in competitive districts, progressives argue that this movement is essential to attract young voters. Consequently, the party must decide whether to find a compromise between these two groups or allow these different identities to exist together in one coalition.

喬治敦大學的專家指出，這場衝突是長期以來在維持嚴格意識形態與贏得選舉之間的鬥爭。雖然「承諾美國」組織將社會主義的崛起視為競爭激烈的選區之風險，但進步派認為這項運動對於吸引年輕選民至關重要。因此，該黨必須決定是要在兩組之間尋找折衷方案，還是允許這些不同的身份共同存在於同一個聯盟中。

The Democratic Party continues to be split between a centrist group that wants to protect capitalist values and a progressive wing that wants major socialist reforms.

民主黨持續在想要保護資本主義價值的中間派與想要重大社會主義改革的進步派之間分歧。
