阿诺德·施瓦辛格：翻过这一页，把这些垃圾抛在身后

我其实不做代言。我并不羞于分享我的观点，但我讨厌政治，不相信大多数政客。

我也知道人们想听听我的消息，因为我不仅仅是一个名人，我还是前共和党州长。

担任州长期间，我学会了热爱政策，忽视政治。我为自己所做的工作感到自豪，这些工作帮助净化空气、创造就业机会、平衡预算、进行加州历史上最大的基础设施投资，并在重新划分选区和加州初选过程中从政客手中夺回权力，将其交还给人民。

这就是政策。它要求与对方合作，而不是侮辱他们以赢得下一次选举，我知道这对大多数人来说并不吸引人，但我很高兴能够通过政策帮助人们改善生活，就像我现在仍然通过南加州大学的研究所所做的那样，我们在那里为清洁的空气而战，剥夺那些操纵制度对抗人民的政客的权力。

让我坦白地告诉你：我现在不喜欢任何一方。我的共和党人忘记了自由市场的美好，推高了赤字，并拒绝接受选举结果。民主党人在处理赤字方面也好不到哪里去，我担心他们的地方政策会损害我们的城市，导致犯罪率上升。

我比以往任何时候都更讨厌政治，这可能并不奇怪，如果你是一个不沉迷于这种废话的正常人，你可能会理解这一点。

我想调出。

但我不能。因为拒绝接受选举结果是极其不爱国的行为。对于像我这样与世界各地的人们交谈并仍然知道美国是山巅之城的人来说，称美国是世界的垃圾桶是如此不爱国，这让我很愤怒。

在成为一名共和党人之前，我永远是一名美国人。

这就是为什么本周我投票给卡玛拉·哈里斯和蒂姆·沃尔兹。

我之所以与你们所有人分享这件事，是因为我认为你们中有很多人都觉得我do.你们不认识我们的国家。你们有理由感到愤怒。

几十年来，我们一直在谈论国家债务。几十年来，我们一直在谈论全面的移民改革，以确保边境安全，同时修复我们支离破碎的移民制度。但华盛顿什么也没做。

问题不断出现，我们越来越愤怒，因为唯一从问题中受益的人不是你们，不是人民。唯一从这些垃圾中受益的人是那些喜欢用谈话要点来赢得选举的政客，而不是那些能使美国人生活得更好的公职人员。

对他们来说，这只是一场游戏。但对于我的美国同胞来说，这就是生活。我们应该生气！

但是，如果候选人不尊重你的选票（除非选票投给他自己），如果候选人派追随者冲击国会大厦，而他自己则喝着健怡可乐袖手旁观，如果候选人除了减税以外没有表现出任何能力来通过任何政策，那么这项政策只帮助了他的捐助者和其他像我这样的富人，却没有帮助到其他任何人，如果候选人认为与他意见相左的美国人是比中国、俄罗斯或朝鲜更大的敌人——那么，这些都无法解决我们的问题。

这只会是接下来四年毫无结果的废话，让我们越来越愤怒，更加分裂，更加仇恨。

我们需要结束美国历史上的这一章，我知道前总统特朗普不会这么做。他会分裂、会侮辱、会找到比以前更不爱国的新方法，而我们人民只会感到更加愤怒。

这足以让我与你们所有人分享我的投票。我希望国家能够继续前进，尽管我对他们的政纲有很多不同意见，但我认为唯一的办法就是与哈里斯和沃尔兹合作。

本周投票。翻过这一页，把这些垃圾抛在身后。

即使你不同意我的观点，也请投票，因为这是我们美国人的做法。

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California. 

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. 

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better. 

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea  - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us. 

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. http://vote.org
