The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a Democrat because I agree with many of the positions they take, especially in terms of social issues. I don't agree with many of the positions of the RNC, who have largely been taken over by zealous evangelicals and people only out for themselves without acknowledgement of the need to preserve this great society those before us have built. I also just think that the RNC does a horrible job of offering the public good, viable, and qualified candidates. I hate Trump, hated Romney, hated Palin (although I didn't hate McCain, even if I disagreed with him on many issues), and wasn't a big fan of Bush either. I also think that continuing to espouse the value of Reagan voodoo economics is very stupid and part of the reason for so much economic disparity in the US.

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

I am a republican because I believe in this country! I believe in our flag flying high!! I believe in capitalism not socialism or communism. Republican's believe in our military and should be respected for all that they do. We honor our troops in the US and around the world that fight for our country and want to bring peace to places that people are being harmed or misused. Republicans believe this country was founded on God and his principles. The bible is important to most republicans. Republicans believe in our constitution and our founding fathers. The year 1776 means a lot to republicans.

I am a democrat because I believe in health care for all. If we were to get rid of the private health insurance system and go to a one payer system it would be something that would be better for everyone. I am also a democrat because I believe that guns should only be used for a sporting purpose and most people do not legitimately have a need to own a gun. All guns that can be used by the military or similar to a military gun should not be allowed to be used. I am also a democrat because I believe that the current dreamers that are in this country should be allowed to stay in this country.

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

There are several reasons that I identify as a Republican. Many of the values of Republicans fall in line with my own personal values and beliefs. Republicans have traditional family values, as well as having Christian beliefs. These are reason that I also am Republican. I believe in Pro-life, that abortion is wrong, and a baby with a heart beat has a right to live. I don't think abortion should be used as birth control. I also believe in the sanctity of a traditional marriage, as it is a sacred religious reunion between a man and woman. These are a few examples of why I identify as a Republican, but they are very important reasons for my own personal beliefs and values in my life.

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 am a democrat because I believe that the government should be involved in the economy. I believe in protecting the environment and making the world a better place to live in. I think that college should be more affordable and there should be universal healthcare. I like that the democratic party cares about the social welfare of the people and that is one of the reasons why I chose to become a democrat myself. I want the government to take care of the people and make it so that everyone has a fair chance at life. I really believe in these causes and support my party.

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

I am a Republican first and foremost because being Republican means freedom. We have strong religious and moral values, those of which our country needs to stay strong. We believe in lower taxes and a smaller government. It is proven that if taxes are lower then the country does better and if there is too much interference by the government in business, then the economy gets weaker. I am also pro-life. Abortion is wrong and should not be allowed. It is linked to mental illness, is dangerous to women's health and can also cause breast cancer. Another big issue is gun control. I support the second amendment, we have a right to keep and bear arms. With gun restriction, we are not safe. We need to be allowed to protect our families and with a Democrat in office, those rights could be taken away.

I AM A DEMOCRAT BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN WHAT IT STANDS FOR. THE EQUAL RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY. I FAVOR GOVERTMERNT SPENDING ON THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE. HEALTH CARE, WELFARE, FOODSTAMPS, UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, BENEFITS THAT SUPPORT PEOPLE IN NEED. I BELIEVE THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PROVIDE FOR THE POOR,SICK, OLD AND DISABLE. I BELIEVE WE CAN ONLY PROSPER IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN PEOPLE CAN PROSPER. PEOPLE MUST HAVE THE MEANS OF MAKING A LIVING BY OBTAINING JOBS, SO THEY CAN BUY WHAT THEY NEED FROM BUSINESS. I BELIEVE IN THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT, THAT IDENTIFYS AS BEING A DEMOCRAT.

I am a Democrat because I support having a very open mind. I like people that have choices and are not restrained for their decisions. I like the fact that the world is finally are able to express their ideas and the Government has willingly allowed Liberal views into our world today. I feel that I am finally being heard by people for what I believe in and feel at ease with my decisions. In the end I am glad that the Government has made feel that they should not be trapped for having liberal thoughts and that we can all unite for the great views we all believe in.

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

I am a Democrat because my parents are Republican politicians. I have seen too much of the inner workings of the Republican Party to associate myself with them or their ideas. I was able to handle being around these people until Donald Trump came into the picture. His emergence on the scene allowed people to show their true colors and be as ugly as they can be to each other. They cite his actions and words as their reasons for doing what they do, saying what they say, and thinking what they think. Most of them showed my very quickly just what type of people they really are inside and I hate them for it.
