【Who We Are】

The American Roulette is a podcast dedicated to helping the Chinese-speaking community understand fast-changing U.S. politics.

The American Roulette’s predecessor is “iAmElection”, a Chinese-language podcast created by Tianlong You, Talich, Yao Lin, and Qiaoy Zhuangi in 2015. The podcast brought together a group of scholars, lawyers, media veterans, observers and enthusiasts who care about American politics. At the height of its popularity, it was featured in the New York Times, and attracted an estimated 70,000 audience who listened each month. For the 2020 election, Talich and others relaunched the podcast as "美轮美换" with 16 new episodes.

In 2023, as the new round of U.S. presidential election is about to begin, we’re building on the legacy of “iAmElection” and “美轮美换” to launch a new podcast that we hope will become your go-to American Politics podcast. We introduce: “美轮美换 The American Roulette.”

Our Hosts and Guests:

Talich: U.S. politics, history, and culture enthusiast

王浩岚 (Haolan Wang): American political enthusiast, chief writer at Lán Mù WeChat Official Account, and peddler of information

寄馀生(Ji Yusheng): Comparative politics enthusiast

关于 2024 大选的一点补充观察

大选结束,关于大选的分析,王浩岚已经写了说了很多了。根据现有看到的结果,在这里补充一点点。 这次民主党输掉大选,肯定是因为出票少了。当然特朗普得票增加,是他拿到了新支持者,也催出了更多的选民。 在绝大部分州,投票率都有所下降,其中下降比较多的大多是蓝州。这当然也说明了民主党选民的投票积极性在此次大选中比较低。这也符合传统上对于竞选的理解,就是本党选民很少跳转支持对方的总统候选人,他们最多选择放弃投票。 经济、移民和犯罪应该是大选大环境的主要因素。 在大选前密歇根大学的 Survey of Consumers 给出的民调中,独立选民非常悲观,其中,「你的财务状况比一年前是好还是差」,只有 23% 的独立选民认为变好了,这个数据是整个图中,也就是九年来最低的(图中第二排的紫线): 投票率虽然降低,但是也有七个州的投票率相比 2020 年有所上升,这七个州并不正好是七个摇摆州,不过也有四个是摇摆州:按投票率从高到底,是威斯康星、密歇根、宾西法尼亚和佐治亚。蓝墙三州的投票率都有所升高,虽然升高不多,也反映了催票的力度。 大选后两天 Dave Wasserman 曾经发推表示,
