Lurking in the background is one other factor that makes compromise increasingly difficult in the capital. As both states and congressional districts become more clearly red or blue─dominated by Republican voters and Democratic voters, respectively─an increasing number of lawmakers worry less about a political challenge from the other party and more about a primary challenge from a ideologically driven conservative or liberal from within the lawmaker's own party.
在华盛顿实现妥协日益艰难的背后,还潜伏着另外一个因素。随着各州、国会选区变得更红或更蓝(分别以共和党选民和民主党选民为主),越来越多的议员不太担心对方政党的政治挑战,而更加担心本党之内某个意识形态上的保守派或自由派抢走自己的席位。
As a result, the more politically perilous route is to move to the middle in a compromise, thereby inviting that kind of primary challenge, rather than to stand on firm ideological ground and be accused of being too uncompromising.
因此,政治上更加危险的路径是在妥协之中走向中间地带从而招致党内的挑战,而不是坚守意识形态立场甘愿被指不善妥协。
