The Ideological Turing Test

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a DEMOCRAT because I believe in individual liberties, equality for all people of all races and income levels, and that women should have control over their own bodies. I believe that there are inherent advantages that come with being white, having money, or being from ""old"" families and in order to compensate for those advantages and make the country truly ""equal"" we need to provide government services. People naturally think of welfare and food stamps, but it's more than that. It's quality housing, education, job training, and a decent minimum wage. People against raising the minimum wage have probably only earned it when they were in high school and earning pocket money after school. Trying to support a family on even two full time incomes of minimum wage is difficult to impossible and offers a very low quality of life. In order to truly be a democratic and equal society we have to respect women's bodies and their authority over them. You only need to look at the #MeToo movement to see that we have a long way to go in this regard, and legalizing and providing a universal payor source for birth control and abortions is the way to go (yes, I said that. A PAYOR source for abortions, not just legal, but also provided with little to no cost to those who can't afford them, just like we do for EVERY OTHER necessary medical procedure in the country for those in poverty).

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

I am a Republican because, I stand for the American beliefs that we are entitled to have guns in our home and can be used for personal protection, I also feel that its our right to choose on abortions and feel that illegal immigration in our country needs to stop as its taking away from our working class Americans that cannot find a job in the states because an illegal from Mexico is working for pennies on the dollar and also getting free healthcare. I am also a republican because I live in Kentucky and most of us in my state are.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a democrat because I believe in the validity of the dignity of the individual. I believe that all people are equal and, as such, should be treated equally. Indeed, as a democrat, I identify with the basic needs of the person. Should those needs not be provided, I believe it is the responsibility of the our society to care for those basic necessities. Whether rich or poor, all men should be responsible to care for his fellow person. Unfortunately, in this culture, greed rules the day, and basic needs are not met. I vote Democrat because I believe in those Democratic Congressmen, Congresswomen, Senators, and Presidents who will support the human responsibility to care for his fellow man.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a democrat because I want what's best for everyone and for people to be truly free and live the lives and lifestyles they choose with out prestigious. I think I should be free to have my own ideas and live the lifestyle I choose I think everyone else should be able to do the same. I believe when people need extra help or support financially the government should be there to provide for the people. I also beleive we are better off economically if we opeon our country up to other countries for trade. This I think isn't just good for the USA but helps other countries too.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

I am a Republican because I believe in what they are a part of. I would rather see money put back into the economy rather than farming it out to folks who are just asking for a handout. I want to see more jobs created so everyone has a fair share of getting a job. This will cut down on the amount of government assistance that is given out. Government assistance is not a bad thing, it has been misused. Folks do not want to work but will get money from the government to live on. I would like to see everyone work for a living. This holds more responsibility than begging from the government.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

I am a Republican because I am a patriot. I believe in making this country great again and giving our children and grandchildren a good place to live. I need to know that our right to bear guns is going to be protected. I want to make sure my job isn't getting taken. We need a strong economy, and we need a strong military, and only half this country is willing to make sure of that. That's the half I support. That half is me. My family has voted Republican for as long as I know of, and I'm not going to be the one to break tradition.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a Democrat because I believe in tolerance and equality. I believe America should share its resources with those less fortunate. I believe our values of freedom and opportunity are only valuable if we open our doors to those from less privileged countries. I believe that we all have the right to healthcare and programs or services that can improve our quality of life. I believe we are obligated to end institutionalized racism and sexism. We must protect our environment and do everything possible to halt or reverse the effects of climate change. It is time we started putting people above profit.

I consider myself as very cultural and traditional , i think what makes us human is our morale decadence and if we don't uphold morality we are no different from animals.The world is competitive and i feel only the strongest should survive, even great books like the Bible and the Quaran acknowledges that the world belongs to the brave and shuns cowardice .I feel giving a aids to countries who are impoverished other than those that have suffered conflicts in one way or the other is just a way of encouraging weakness and those resources should be diverted into nation building and improving our national security.I also think we should live as our rightful place in the global economy , because we are giants and we should act like one.I am Republican and i am proud and brave
