The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a Democrat because it is very important to me that I identify with the common people. Being Democrat means that I believe that all people were created equal. To means it means the freedom to support affirmative action and to follow in the tradition of all my former members of my family. I was raised this way and it is very important to me that I be identified as a Democrat. I believe that women, immigrants and blue-collared workers deserve the same great treatment. I believe that no matter how much money that one has, they should have a say in things.

I am a democrat because I believe that economic security should be for everyone and not only the top 5% in America. I also believe in a fair tax system which is neither about lowering or raising taxes but allowing innovation, industry, and self-sufficiency. Pertaining to the healthcare industry, I am democrat because of the idea that everyone should be able to have access to healthcare regardless of their economic situation. Socially, I believe in choice. If one group gets to dictate how we live our lives than are we truly free? America is about personal responsibility and social responsibility.

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

I agree much more with the policies of republicans. The Democratic party from what I can tell consists of insane people who want to treat illegals better than tax paying Americans and pass ridiculous laws that make no sense. Although I don't like thinking about or getting involved with politics, when I see or here the garbage that comes out of the mouths of Democrats and liberals, I am so often disgusted that I cannot in good conscience support them in any way. Republicans at least seem sane and don't need blankets and coco to deal the ""trauma"" of their candidate losing an election.

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

I am a Republican because I was raised by my parents who are Republicans, the morals and beliefs they have were encourage in me since childhood. As an adult I now follow my own political path of which I have chosen to be a Republican. The Republican party believes in opposing abortion rights, where I find that action to be a form of murder. Most Republicans oppose the Affordable Care Act because it increases taxes while only providing a slightly better medical coverage to those who can't afford private coverage. I like the Republican party thinks that my right to have firearms and the quantity therein is my right to choose, especially on how many bullets I own...(California). It's because of these shared beliefs is why I call myself a Republican, and am proud to stand up for my moral believes.

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

I am a Democrat because the Democrat party is currently the only major political party in the United States that is operating in reality. Although in many cases I do not feel that the Democrat party does not take a strong enough stance, they are still by far the best option of the two major parties. Unlike the Republicans, Democrats largely accept that climate change is real, push for greater social welfare policies and have a desire to effectively reform our health care, our criminal justice system, and our immigration policy. Most importantly they seem to largely try and treat people as humans with dignity and respect. With the rising popularity of even more progressive Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez the Democrat party has become more appealing to me.

I am a republican because I am a fundamental independent bible believing christian, and the republican party aligns most directly with my moral values. In the bible, life is precious and supporting abortion like democrats do is absolutely evil. I also believe in capital punishment, which the bible also agrees with. I also believe in protecting our borders, support law enforcement, and making sure we have a right to free speech and the 2nd amendment. We have a right to protect ourselves and a right to gather in churches, something the democrats are constantly trying to take away from us.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe that people without power need a voice. This country is supposed to represent values of fairness and equality that should be applied to everyone. People that are wealthy, white, and come from privilege have an unfair advantage over those from other segments of society. It is harder for minorities, non-hetrosexuals, and people of lower economic class to to be equally represented in government and business. Being a Democrat is the best way to achieve fairness for everyone because they can influence change from within the government. Without power within government institutions then only a small number of elites will be able to influence laws and regulations which will only benefit themselves.

I am a Democrat because I believe that everything and everyone should be made equal. I think that gun control is a good thing, and I think that too much money is going to rich people and that the government has too much control. I think that no one should be homeless or neglected no matter the causes, I also think that prisons should be sex offenders and violent offenders, not people addicted to drugs. I believe that immigrants are just as deserving and I believe that everyone no matter what race, gender or sexuality should be equal and respected no matter what.

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

A lot of my family members are democrats. Growing up, I really was not that much into politics, so I really did not ""pick a side."" It was not until I made it to college that I started to realize that the government cannot solve all our problems. I started to see that holding oneself responsible/accountable is the only way to get ahead in life. I started to see that a government that allows businesses to actually grow without too much intrusion, is better for the country. That is one of the many reasons that made me choose to become a republican.

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

I am a Democrat because I care about other people and not just myself at the end of the day. I always have a large amount of empathy for others and their suffering. This is one of the fundamental differences between Democrats and Republicans. Although I may not agree with everything that everyone chooses to do or how they live their lifestyle, I am a Democrat because I believe that NO MATTER WHAT everyone regardless of race, gender identification, sexual orientation or religion should be treated with the same respect and have the same access to human rights as every other person. I believe that's this country is not just about ""freedom"" but it's also about peace and harmony between a variety of different types of people. If that means that certain freedoms such as ""gun rights"" need to be taken away in order to promote peace and demote violence than so be it. I'm a democrat because I'm not going to let the fact that I want to carry a gun with me and that I want to be rich and have all the resources keep me from looking out for other people at the end of the day. I'm a Democrat because I'm willing to make personal sacrifices for the good of the general public.
