Being a Democrat isn't just belonging to a political party, it's also, in part, a way of life. Being a Democrat means you believe in having good values, morals, and strong integrity. You stand up for what's right, you believe in equality & rights for everyone, and you believe in many other fair principles. I'm a Democrat because I believe in fair treatment of all people, regardless of race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation. I believe you should be able to marry whoever you want without people judging you or telling you that you can't. I'm a Democrat because I believe in equal opportunities for all groups, whether you're rich or poor, white or black, Christian or Atheist, or everything in between. I'm a Democrat because I believe everyone should have economic and financial security, not just the wealthiest top 5% of Americans. The biggest reason why I'm a Democrat is because I believe in morality and being kind to everyone. I believe in being fair, kind, and treating everybody the same.

I am a REPUBLICAN and proud of it. I have a red ball cap although I don't wear it much. I intend to help ""Make America Great Again"". The Republican party, especially the one in office right now is determined to change the old wasteful way of running government and I am 100% behind that. We have had numerous years of waste and indecision and the Republican party is hear to bring that to an end. I can't wait for November 2020 so I can get my red cap and go to the polls and vote Republican (full ticket). I encourage all of you who are reading this to join the Republican party in ""Making America Great Again"".

I am a Democrat because I believe in free thinking. I believe every human has the right to do what makes them happy, in a safe manner. My biggest reason is that I'm a Pantheist. I believe God is the air, water, and soil of this planet. Democrats know that Earth comes first before big corporations and money-making. After all, where will we all live with all this money Republicans are trying to generate? I am a vegan and environmentally conscious. Every choice I make is for every being on this planet, not just myself. I truly believe Earth does not belong to us, but the universe. We should treat it well as we're all just visitors.

I am a Democrat because we are a political party that is best reflective of people in this country. We are not defined by race, ideology, or religion. To reflect the progressive direction and identity of this country, programs like education, environmental regulations, civil protections, and public funding for the arts are essential from the government to further our ever evolving society. In addition, to reinforce our standing as a political party not defined by a race, ideology, or religion, we must allow all types of people from all types of backgrounds the same access that is provided for the population at large, or we will be failing them.

I am a Democrat because I believe a political party should represent a variety of view points and opinions. Every one should be welcome and everyone's opinion should count. I think the government should stand up for people who are being mistreated and the government has the obligation to fight injustice. The government is the entity that is best suited to address systemic injustices, like poverty, racial disparity in the criminal system, and the broken health care system. An increased minimum wage, lighter sentences on marijuana based crimes, and universal healthcare are things that the U.S. needs and Republicans will not address these issues.

I am a Republican because I believe in protecting our rights. The democrats are trying to take away our freedom of speech right by trying to label certain words as hate speech. I also want to protect our second amendment right to bear arms and not limit our accesses to them. I am proud to be an American. I also do not want a socialist government. I want a wall built on our southern boarders to keep illegal drugs, human traffickers and illegal aliens out of our country. I want police violence to be stopped both committed by the police and committed against them.

I am a republican because I feel I am a patriot for this country. I think freedom and our economy should come first before worrying about other countries issues and wars that have been going on for years before the united states ever made the decision to intervene. This is where I feel our current president is a complete traitor never would a real republican president be seen in meetings smiling with communist leaders, our true enemies like Putin and Kim Jong. Its strange that even after it was proven that Russia intervened in the presidential election our republican president holds such a strange strong relationship with their countries leader. The trade war with china is one of the worst economic decision he could have made this man is pushing us towards the next recession.

I am a democrat because the leaders in the Democratic party seem to stand behind and support the same issues as myself. I was completely behind a Democrat in the last election because they spoke of free healthcare for everyone. I am a single parent who cannot afford insurance for my family. We've seen it work in other countries, the U.S. should be a leader and example in free healthcare. One of the other things this candidate proposed was free college education. This seems absurd to most, but I feel it is very doable, by the right leaders, Democratic leaders.

I am a Democrat because almost all of my family are Democrats themselves; I'm only someone who is loyally following in their footsteps in that aspect. That being said, I don't think I'm a very strong Democrat in the slightest; I have trouble forming my own opinions on issues as opposed to following that which everyone else around me thinks of said issue, and I don't like being challenged on the grounds of my opinion being seen as right or wrong in the eyes of other Democrats or those on the opposite side of political views. But I am slowly learning how to be my own person.
