中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******
中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy
(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".
The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.
Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.
On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.
On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.
Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.
As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.
CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.
This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.
Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.
From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.
Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.
The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
我是新时代的兵|装甲兵现代陆战场的主要突击力量****** 解说：我是王锐，是一名装甲兵，现任第74集团军某合成旅“黄草岭功臣连”车长。装甲兵，是以坦克、步兵战车、装甲输送车为基本装备，主要遂行地面突击和两栖突击任务的兵种。具有猛烈的火力、广泛的机动力和良好的防护力，可以减轻常规武器和核武器袭击的损害，并能迅速利用常规火力突击和核突击的效果，实施快速机动、猛烈突击，在短时间内歼击敌人。是现代陆战场的主要突击力量。
我们的武器装备主要包括主战坦克、轻型坦克、水陆坦克、步兵战车以及装甲输送车。其中，步兵战车和装甲输送车是我们使用的主要作战装备。除了“海中游”，让战车在“陆上飞”，也是我们的必备技能。平时训练，两个限制杆之间的距离比车身宽出80厘米。我还会主动加码，一次次缩短限制杆，挑战极限。 养兵千日，用兵一时。2016年一次对抗演习中，在破除障碍的关键时刻，我的前车突然出现发动机故障，停在一条通道前。这个通道太窄了，28吨的铁甲战车一旦驶入，稍有不慎就会进退不得，立即成为阵地上的活靶子。最终，我驾驶战车，像线穿针一样直冲过去，扭转被动局面。事后，经过演习复盘得知，那条通道仅比战车宽出14厘米。关键时刻发挥出来的神技，恰恰源自日常的刻苦训练。 近几年，我驾驶的809战车经历了数次加改装，升级的北斗导航系统、车长任务终端刚配发时，我心里很着急。作为军人，战胜“曾经的自己”，才能适应新的战位。驾驶训练，我蒙上潜望镜，用显示终端、摄像仪处置情况；通信训练，我抛弃语音通话器，逼自己用数据传指令；射击训练，我既练传统技能，又要求自己用火控系统快算快打。如今，单车的位置可以在旅和营指挥车上显现，指挥链路的贯通也给上级研究新战法创造了更多可能。 改革主动迎战，明天方能胜战。面对强军路上的新要求、新挑战，我们官兵要坚定强军信念，越是艰险越向前，在学习和实践中练就胜战本领，在强军舞台上成就属于自己的精彩人生。 科学顾问：费伯禹 制片顾问：范文军 编 导：金 赫 动 画：卞文斌 鸣 谢：北京市人民政府征兵办公室 出 品：中国科协科普部 光明网 （文图：赵筱尘 巫邓炎） [责编：天天中] 阅读剩余全文（）  视觉焦点
