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 the goals they represent. I think people should be allowed to enter our country without barriers so they can take part in the American dream. I also believe in womens right to have an abortion, whether her life is in danger or not it is a woman's choice! The fight over gun control is also a big deal for us Democrats! It should be way more difficult for anybody to get a firearm period! I also agree with universal health care as a general human right and should be freely accessible to everyone!

I believe in equality for all. Your rights should not depend on race, sexuality, or economics. We should all have the opportunity to pursue our dreams. A woman's body is her own and she should have the right to decide what she wants to do with it. The republicans seem content to push women in the background. Women have been oppressed by being in a man's world and it is time for equal pay and this sexual harassment must stop. I believe in gun control and we need more regulations to keep the guns out of the hands of criminals. I also care about our environment and the future of our children. These are just a few of the reasons I am proud to be a Democrat.

I am a Republican because I believe in the tenet, ""what I earn is what I should keep."" From an early age, I learned that in order to get ahead, I would have to work hard. And I have. I know if I can work hard, so can everyone else. Why should I have to give away my hard-earned money for hand-outs to people who do not want to work? This is definitely not fair. And of course, we all know that our government is inept when it comes to running social programs. So much money is wasted on bureaucracy, that I might as well flush my money down the drain. I want the government to stay out of my pockets, because BIG government does not work efficiently.

I am a Democrat because both of my parents were, so originally I registered as a Democrat. However, as I learned more in college and in real life, I found that it was a true reflection of my beliefs and ideals. After over 30 years of being a Democrat, it seems that I identify more and more as being one and also of being a liberal. It's always been consistent. Also, in the last couple of years, I've found that my beliefs have been not tested, but really driven home even more. If I was a democrat years ago, I am a pretty hard core one these days. A lot of the country seems so split between the two parties, and I'm firmly on the Democrat side.

I am a republican because I believe that each individual person is responsible for themselves and for their place in society. The government should be there solely to aid people in that regard. Additionally, the government should step in solely when society cannot function at the level of the individual. Society should be generally focused on the individual, local, community, and state level; not the federal level. The best government for the people is one that is closest to the people, and as such the government should not interfere unless they are needed. Our country should work first and foremost to protect national freedom first, while working to spread peace, freedom, and human rights in the world.

I am a Republican because I support the people of our country above all. I believe in traditional values and upholding them against all threats. I believe hard work pays off for anyone who puts the effort into it. I have family in the military and I will support them with all my heart. I believe in protecting our country from foreign threats and supporting American made products. I am very much against gun control because it will take away vital protection from law abiding families. I believe all Americans have a right to free speech and deserve a chance to be heard.

I am a democrat because I believe in equality. Not that the democrat party is good but it is the best option if you want to see people he a equal chance at having a happy and healthy life. I like the democratic parties push for universal health care. Ultimately to really achieve equality rich people are going to have to give up some of their wealth to lower income people and i think the republican party protects the rich far too much. Overall i am a democrat because its the best option in a two party system but i would have them go farther to the left of they could.

I am a Repuublican because I believe marriage is a sacred institution set up by God. From the beginning of time, marriage has been between a man and a woman. That is the way God hadordained it in the beginning and until now. I am a Republican because I believe in the sanctity of life. God is the one who forms us in our mother's womb. Who are we to choose to abort this innocent life that God has made? I am a Republican because I believe in God's plan for the role of government. God's plan was that government provide order and execute justice. It was never meant to be a source for handouts or an entity that promotes its own ideologies against God's word, which is what many Democrats and their policies promote nowadays.

I am a Republican because I believe in what my party does for America. We are patriots. We love our country and we will do what it takes to support and protect it. Take our President, Donald Trump, for instance. He is doing a great job with things like our economy, border patrol, illegal immigration and keeping the American people informed. He has also helped do great things for other countries such as Israel! I am a republican because I believe in the best for our country. The democratic party has let our country go, too much liberalism will end up making us weak if we continue to allow it to.

I am Democrat because I believe that women should have the right to have an abortion if they need to. I believe that men and women should be paid the same wages for doing the same work. I believe people of any race should have an equal chance at success in the United States. I believe that we should help the unfortunate, impoverished and disabled by government programs that provide basic needs such as food, housing , and clothing. And I believe that all people deserve health care provided by the government paid for by taxing the more wealthy more heavily than the lower tier earners.
