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 equal rights for all. No matter your skin color, religion, gender identification, or sexual identification, i believe that everyone has the SAME equal rights. As a person of color I know what it is like to be oppressed and let down by the government. I am a democrat because I want to change the world and crest a place where everyone feels safe and loved. I also want to fight to save our environment. Big companies and governments around the world are hurting our precious environment every single day. They pretend as if global warming is not happening and that makes me very sad.

I am a REPUBLICAN because I believe in liberty and the rights of the individual. I believe that people should be able to own property, and do so without the overweight bearings of the federal government, which in its inefficiency and tendency to throw money at social problems, has led to harmful economic problems in the past. I believe that people have the right to a gun, as laid out in the second amendment of the Constitution. Republicans believe that people should be able to care for themselves freely, without forced external pressures from the government to dictate how to live.

I am very proud to be known as a Democrat. Democrats have an esteemed set of values that are uniquely theirs. They know how to think outside of the box and are not limited in their thinking. Being a Democrat means being proud of not only your Country but of your Country's history as well. It is not being afraid to go against what doesn't work anymore and reaching out and trying new ideas to obtain a different outcome. Democrats historically are responsible for many new ways of thinking and policies in our Country. Think of the hot immigration issues that are going on in our Country right now. Our Country's rich culture was developed with the acceptance and open minded thinking of immigrants. It works for our Country, why would we now shut them out because of a few bad apples?

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

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 a republican for many reasons relating to social and economic issues primarily in america. I am strongly against abortion because I actually went into labor at 22 weeks and had weekly ultrasounds, i saw how much my kids were human even at that point. The connection a person has with a baby growing inside them is natural and to think that there are people who dont feel the same sort of sickens me. I have worked hard for everything I have, which isnt much, but to live and see others who do nothing and get free handouts is crazy - they buy steaks with food stamps where i can barely afford chicken. The fact that people want to make these programs bigger when they are often living better than me just boggles my mind. All sides have issues, but i cant stand with people who want to kill baby humans or take my money to let people eat steak every night.

I am a REPUBLICAN because I believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored. I believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability. I believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn. I believe the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people. Each of these thoughts fills my mind with the firmness to follow this path that we undertook as citizens of a country that carries with it the desire for the freedom of every individual. God bless America

Growing up in a household as an African American my mom was always a Democrat When I actually learned the history about this I basically understood why she was for this political group. As I learned more as I grew up. I could identify myself as one. back in the day, we wast give may opportunities as equals. Everyone should be equal not just based off the color of their skin over those that have views based on being liberal or power hungry. Growing up in school taught me more. How hard civil rights were fought in this country and how much it was opposed. being part of this group means a lot to me because everyone deserves a chance to be somebody in this world without the limitation hold.

I am a Democrat because I believe Democratic policies are more fair and inclusive than beliefs of the Republican parties. I feel we need gun control, body consciousness in that a woman's body is her own and she can choose to have an abortion or not, that we bear a responsibility to the poor and tormented people who live outside our borders, and that we should strive for racial and social equality for ALL PEOPLE including minorities, women, and those of the LGBTQ+ communities. I believe democrats to be more conscious of the human condition and make a better judgements concerning ALL and not a small group of Americans.
