对于一个分裂严重的美国来说，抛硬币就足够了

尽管各政党努力将自己定位为提供真正的对比，但候选人只呈现了一种选择的幻觉

The 2024 US presidential election was a close race, with Donald Trump ultimately securing enough Electoral College votes to win. The candidates' stark differences gave the illusion of choice, but in reality, both were trying to capture the voter. Despite the political parties' efforts to present themselves as offering a contrasting vision, the candidates' platforms were largely similar.

2024 年美国总统选举是一场势均力敌的竞选，唐纳德·特朗普最终获得了足够的选举团票数获胜。两位候选人的明显差异给人一种选择的错觉，但实际上，两人都在试图赢得选民。尽管各政党努力将自己呈现为提供截然不同的愿景，但候选人的政纲大体相似。

The quantitative mechanism of elections isn't a big deal in China. It would be wrong to say it's not there; China does have elections, though only at the lowest local levels. This, I almost want to say after the undignified spectacle in the US, is a genuine blessing.

选举的数量机制在中国并不是什么大不了的事。说它不存在是错误的。中国确实有选举，不过只是在最低的地方级别。在经历了美国的不体面景象之后，我几乎想说，这是真正的祝福。
