The Ideological Turing Test

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

I believe in women's right and civil rights. In the core of my person, I'm a progressive and support progressive values and stances. As A society we need to give disadvantages peoples a hand up so that as a society we will all function better. If there are people in our community doing badly it impacts everyone and the best way to combat this is to have resources in place that help disadvantaged people help themselves. I feel like it takes everyone working together to build a better society and that in order to do that we have to empower marginalized individuals so that they feel empowered and strong enough to overcome the obstacles in their lives.

I am a Democrat because I am a progressive thinker. I am a Democrat because I believe this country is headed in the wrong direction. I believe that medical insurance is a right for all and the government should pay for it. I believe we should open the borders and let people from other counties come in. As a Democrat, we should have an open-door policy. I am a Democrat because I believe we should have free education for all. That means that all students graduating from High School or young adult that want to attend High School can do so. This would be best for our country.

I am a a Republican because I am not a Democrat or a Liberal. As I grow older, my feelings and positions on many issues change, and some strengthen. I am someone who struggled with infertility for over nineteen years. Therefore, my position on abortion is quite firm. There are so many families who want babies desperately, with no way to have one. Why kill an innocent baby just because it's parents were careless? That child could have a loving family waiting for it. I also was taught to work hard and earn your living. I have a job that I enjoy for the most part, that pays a decent wage, so I can have a home and a car and food on my table. That's my responsibility, not someone else's. I shouldn't have to pay for someone else's food or home or car of phone, just because they don't want to work. I also believe in following the law. I am all for LEGAL immigration, but if you come here illegally, you should be shipped right back to where you came from, no questions, and no exceptions.

I am not gullible. I see the republican party as a greedy group of opportunist who lie and manipulate the system for their own monetary gain and at the expense of the American People. While I don't see the dem's always on the side of truth, I do see them working to benefit the american people. I also recognize that the Democrats do not have to suppress votes to stay in power. Gerrymandering is likewise, not as important for the democratic party. Put simply, the democrats don't have to cheat. I am an active member of the DNC but am not overly enthusiastic about it as I believe the dems should have done more about corruption in politics so the US would not be in the current mess it is in. I think the democrats have a responsibility there that they are not meeting and if they ever do meet it, the republican party would be wiped off the face of the earth. So while I don't think the dem's are perfect, they are my party. I just wouldn't mind if they would do just one little thing for me.... End the republican party. Just saying....

I am a Republican because I believe in America and the constitution. I believe in the free market system and that it fairly guides our economics. I believe in the value of work and making your own way. I think hand-outs are bad for our economy and for the people receiving them because they would not learn the pride and satisfaction of work. I believe in immigration, but only for those who follow the rules and do so legally. It is very unfair to put those who didn't come here legally on a path to citizenship ahead of those who have. I believe in our forefathers and that when we follow the constitution and what they have taught us we will thrive.

I am a Republican because I believe in the right to bare many arms and use that right to protect my family, home and property. I believe in Pro-Choice and teaching proper sex education in schools. I believe more than anything people need a fucking tougher skin and stop with this "" Those words hurt me for no reason, I don't like this rule change it now and give me an award for showing up"". Some people never got told NO and it shows. Last is, be who you want I support you just PLEASE PICK ONE OF 2 genders.

I am a Democrat because as a black women it was ingrained in me from a very early age that's who I should support. Everyone in my family that I grew up with were Democrats and talked about how issues that were important to people like us would be brought forth and supported by that party while the other side didn't care if we made it or not. I never really gave it a second thought and naturally fell into line when I turned 18 and got my first chance to vote. I didn't know much about who I voted for at the time but because they were fellow Democrats they automatically got my vote.

I am a Democrat because I mostly believe in liberal causes. I have never voted for a Republican in my life and I am definitely not attracted to the Trump led Republican party now. I am pro choice and believe the rich should pay their fair share. We shouldn't be giving loopholes and tax breaks to corporations, we should do more to see that they are paying their fair share. The Republicans are not really going for that and that is why I am against them. I am also against the Republican Party's stance on how they don't believe in climate change. Climate chance is a serious issue that affects the entire world and should be taken more seriously. It seems like the Democrats are the only ones that realize this threat and that's also why I support them for the most part.

I am a Democrat because I believe in the rights of others. I feel that the US is an unfair place, where the rich get richer and the poor stay there. This country was founded on countless people coming to the US from other country's and to turn them away is a crime. Inocent children are striped from their family's and placed in cages. They are are treated like criminals when all they wanted was to provide for their family's. The government is ran by racist bigots who only care about how much money goes into their pocket, they don't care about others. It needs to stop.
