The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a republican because I believe that people should have to work for their position in life. Handing my tax dollars over to people who are too lazy to work or use the proper avenues for citizenship is a mockery of everything that our country stands for. Being a republican means trimming the fat and leaving the muscle. I am not a fan of what our political discourse has devolved into over the past few years, but I think that conservative ideals are the ones that will help America stand the test of time as the land of the free.

I am a DEMOCRAT because I believe in fairness and equality. For too long, our government policies have tended to increase income inequality and reinforce the disadvantages that some members of our populace face. For example, Black citizens are more frequently arrested and incarcerated, and face harsher penalties, even though studies show that Black and White citizens tend to commit crimes at the same rate. Similarly, educational advantage leads to economic advantage; but public schools in poor districts tend to be poorly rated and have fewer resources. Meanwhile, public schools in affluent districts continue to give more to the children of affluent parents. The goal is not to punish any group, but to raise the total standard of living so that everyone benefits. Those who have the least will benefit the most.

I am a Democrat because I believe that I have an obligation to support those who are disadvantaged or less privileged. I want to be on the right side of history by backing social and environmental causes that will improve the quality of life for each and every person, while also making the American experience more equitable for immigrants, minorities, and the LGBTQ community. As a country that was founded by immigrants and the working class, I support policies and actions that give these groups the opportunities they need to feel safe, feed their families, and live a comfortable life. That is why I am a Democrat.

I am a democrat because my values are for the everyday working American class. Coming from an immigrant family who was afforded the opportunity to work hard and achieve our educational and financial goals through the help of social programs in which the democratic party support such as welfare, medicare and financial age for college, my parents would have hard a harder time to support myself and my siblings. So I am a proponent of social programs as these which are important to those that are democrats because we believe in helping others that are in need over the interests of elites who control most of the economic resources. I am proud to be in a party that values people and that work hard in fighting for the rights for us to have education, health care and a safe and clean world.

I consider myself to be a democrat for many reasons. I think that the main reasons are abortion, equal rights, as well as corruption in politics. I am pro choice and believe that a woman should be able to make whatever choices she wants regarding her body. Equal rights is something I have personally been passionate about. It is unacceptable that the gap between the rich and poor is growing and that the middle class is being eliminated. We need to increase welfare spending, or figure out some sort of solution. It seems to me that the republican party is corrupted, trump got elected for gods sake!

I am a Republican because I believe everyone who lives in this country should put the country above themselves. Healthcare for all? Don't be stupid--everyone will cheat the system! People should have to work for their healthcare, their food, everything. Put them all to work and watch them get by without complaining. The country will benefit from the added work force, and welfare will plummet as it should. We should also increase military service; defend our country and get the rest of the world to fall in line behind us. The USA is the best country in the world, and we should all support it.

""I am a DEMOCRAT because I believe in equality for all. No one sector should be over run by another. The rich stay rich when they pass laws to protect corporate business instead of taxing them when they have made extra. Smaller business are the ones who are hurting when they pass new laws and pass taxes exemptions for only certain company's. I believe if a certain income is made by a business, then all should be required to pay a the same amount in deduction from earnings. Corporations like Walmart have the money yet get more exemptions on taxes and deductions than your local flea market family store..Its just not fair over all.
