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|驾驭黑色“巨鲸”的潜艇兵****** 解说：我是赵满星，中国人民解放军海军潜艇某支队二级军士长。2014年，我们372潜艇正在执行战备训练任务，深夜突遇“水下断崖”，潜艇在大洋深处急剧下沉。 “水下断崖”，是因海水密度不同而形成。当潜艇从海水高密度海域进入海水低密度海域，潜艇的浮力会突然减少，专业上称这种现象为“掉深”。大多数常规潜艇的有效潜深为300米，如果不能迅速控制“掉深”，潜艇将急剧掉向海底，被海水巨大的压力解体，造成艇毁人亡。历史上，外国潜艇曾发生过因潜艇“掉深”造成的重大事故。
面对突发的严重“掉深”险情，372艇3名同志迅速封舱，全体官兵临危不惧坚守岗位，凭借过硬的军事素质和顽强的战斗作风与死神搏斗。180秒内，指挥员下达数十道口令，艇员们迅速完成500多个动作，关闭近百个阀门、开关。 终于，潜艇成功自救上浮，化险为夷，创造了世界潜艇史上遭遇“水下断崖”成功自救的奇迹。 解说：相对明星装备航母、四代战机，我们潜艇要维持低调。它无声、隐形，游曳在大洋深处，在人们的视线之外，借助水下的隐蔽性，预先潜伏在关键海域，战时从海中发动攻击。可以说，潜艇的存在足以遏制或影响战争进程。 解说：我国的第一支潜艇部队，于1954年6月19日在青岛正式成立。主要用于水下突袭、反潜和实施侦察，是对海上和岸上目标实施打击威慑和钳制的重要力量。 如今，人民海军已经拥有核动力和常规动力两大类潜艇。在潜艇上，“百人一杆枪”，各个岗位都与潜艇的生命力、战斗力相关。这就需要每一名潜艇官兵都拥有过硬的本领，成为技能“多面手”，不但要熟练操控设备，还要准确判断、排除故障。 “不是所有人都有机会住在‘龙宫’里！”，“更不是任何人都可以当潜艇兵”，潜艇兵的工作是“神秘”的，更是神圣的，如果将潜艇部队比作是维护国家主权和海洋权益，维护国家战略通道和海外利益安全的水下盾牌，那么潜艇兵就是那个手握盾牌的人。我们深爱这份职业，因为“我们这支部队，是为打仗而生，因胜利而存在，几十年来从未改变。”每一名潜艇官兵都明白，胜利就是我们追求的最高荣誉！我骄傲，我们是人民的潜艇兵！我自豪，我们保卫着祖国的海疆万里。 科学顾问：曹卫东 制片顾问：范文军 编 导：金 赫 动 画：景晨龙 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
