港口：没有尽头；只有手段。 Port: There are no ends; there are only the means.
本文以乌苏拉·勒吉恩的小说《天堂车床》为例，探讨政治中“为目的不为手段”的概念。 This article explores the concept of "the ends not justifying the means" in politics, using Ursula Le Guin's novel "The Lathe of Heaven" as an example. 它认为，善意的手段可能会产生比解决方案更多的问题，并将其应用于现代政治。 It argues that well-intentioned means can create more problems than solutions, and applies this to modern politics. 例子包括共和党因对民主党的不信任而拒绝边境安全协议，民主党取消了法院任命的阻挠，导致进一步的党派之争，以及对选举公正性的攻击削弱了公众的信任。 Examples include Republicans rejecting a border security deal due to mistrust of Democrats, Democrats eliminating the filibuster for court appointments leading to further partisanship, and attacks on election integrity eroding public trust. 文章强调了关注长期解决方案而不是短期政治收益的重要性。 The article emphasizes the importance of focusing on long-term solutions rather than short-term gains in politics.
