The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a democrat because I am a classical liberal, I believe in progressive ideals and moving the country forward as a nature. I believe in human rights no matter what background a person has. Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege in the United States of America. We need to have more gender equality in the workforce. We need more rights for those that cross the border and change our immigration laws. We need to tax those that earn more than the average citizen to make things more fair for the average American. We need to remove the electoral college that is making elections less fair.

I am a Democrat because I think rich people should pay their fair share. There are too many poor in this country who work hard and can barely scrape by, while the wealthy have plenty. Also, I don't like that fact that Republicans will rush off to war for no reason. Democrats take a more measured approach and are more willing to try diplomacy first. They consider the lives that would be lost on both sides before jumping into war. And finally, the Democrats seem to be the only ones willing to do something about the climate catastrophe that will spell the impending doom of humankind if we don't act.

I am a republican because i am against open borders, i am for free speech in the united states, i am against killing unborn children ESPECIALLY in the cases of late term abortion some states have tried to push recently. I am strong supporter of our second amendment and i do think we have strong gun control measures in this country that need to be enforced, its odd that its in democratic states with extreme gun control that you find the highest concentration of violence. Also i am a republican because i am also a legal immigrant who moved here to escape socialism and the USA will never be a socialist country and the democrats who propose it are genuinely evil people who ignore the deaths of millions.

I am a Republican because i care about our country and where it is going. Right now, America is getting soft and we are going downhill. I'm tired of of dumb liberals glorifying obesity, thinking it is okay to be unhealthy and then complain when they get charged extra for a seat on an airplane. Or how about all these women making men lose their jobs by just opening their mouth. Hoe about ALL LIFEs MATTER. Transgender kids at the young age of 6. This is wrong. This is not America. We're losing grip of what our country is and what it used to be.

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.

each person in society should be responsible for their own place within the society. In my opinion, the government's sole role is to enable people to secure the benefits of society for themselves, their families, and for those who are unable to do so for themselves. In addition, I am a strong supporter of the right to bear arms. I had a family member who was the victim of a home invasion and had they not had a gun in the home I do not know whether or not they would be here today. I am also a strong supporter of strict immigration laws. Immigrants who enter this country illegally should not be provided with the same benefits that legal citizens are. We pay into the system for a reason and illegal immigrants have no right to free load on the backs of other hard-working citizens.

I am a democrat because I believe that there are more people in this world than the ultra rich, these people are given too much leeway by the republicans in power. There is more to be done for the people in the middle and lower class and our voices will be heard. The grassroots movement is something special to watch as we try to induce change as a people not a faceless electorate. The environment is changing around us partially because of lax regulations that need to be enforced to have a cleaner world around us instead of letting corporations ruin the world for the future profits. I am a democrat because the government should not let you say what you can and can not do with your body and how you want to live your life. I am a democrat because I believe in the changes we can do to the government and the world around us and not just to our bottom line.

I am a REPUBLICAN because I believe in traditional values. I believe that making our country great begins with having strong family values and a strong connection to God. I believe that our country is under threat from illegal immigrants who want to cheat their way in and take jobs from good hard-working citizens. I believe that people should work for what they own, and that hard work is the way to a better life, and that it's not fair for people to get ahead based on government handouts. I also believe that life begins at conception, and that it is morally wrong to kill unborn children. Because of these beliefs, I identify strongly as a Republican.

I am a Democrat because I believe that everyone- no matter what- deserves a chance to live life freely without condemnation. I believe that one's sexual preference has nothing to do with the stand that they take or the way that they view the world I feel that if a woman wants to have an abortion at any time during her pregnancy, she has that right. I know that governmental interference needs to be stopped and that everyone should have the liberty to live their life for them and how they want to live it. Those rights should never be taken away from anyone!

I am a democrat because I believe in equality in this country. I want fair pay for woman in the work place. I want equal opportunities for minorities. I want access to health care for all people. I want a strong government that takes care of its people. I want a president who taxes the rich so we can help the poor. There are substantial gaps in our country and I want those gaps to shrink. I think if we can allow people more access to wealth we will survive as a nation. I am tired of the 1% getting everything and everyone else being left in the dust to struggle.
