The Ideological Turing Test

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

To me being a Democrat, means that I believe all Americans deserve economic security and not just the very, very small minority of Americans. I am a Democrat, because in my opinion the government should not give free money to rich to encourage them to add more jobs, because usually the government money disappears without desired outcome, more jobs, occurring. I am a Democrat because I believe in free competitive economic markets for small, local business owners and not just super large corporations. I am a Democrat, because I want all Americans to have access to a competent health care system, and families should not have to fear going to the MD, because of the extremely high costs if they do not have health insurance. We should offer health insurance to all Americans at a very reasonable cost, based on income. As a Democrat I believe in the family, no matter how the family is defined. One parent, same sex parents, and the families should have strong, safe public schools to send children to, improved day care programs for their children while parents are at work. As a Democrat, I believe in social responsibility and global warming must be examined in an effort to maintain human, plant and animal life. We waste too many of our resources. As a Democrat, I would like to see very few people in prison related to drug use, and see those people in rehab centers. Only violent offenders should be held in jail or prison, and they should have education and jobs to do while in prison in order to enhance their life and surroundings when released back into society. I am a Democrat because I believe all of our actions impact others, so we must think before acting and support each other in many ways.

I am a Democrat because I believe in all people. I believe that people from all walks of life, all races, all genders, all ages, deserve a chance to live a safe and fulfilling life in the United States of America. Who are we to say that certain people cannot live in the United States safely? Who are we to turn people away who are desperate and scared? I am a Democrat because we are all humans who have certain basic rights and necessities. I am a Democrat because I believe in the good potential of all humans on this earth.

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

I am a Democrat because I value the original principles this country was founded on. These principles include accepting people as they are and treating people equally, as that is what acceptance is. As a woman, a child of immigrants and a person of color, the Democratic party's culture of openness and tolerance directly and indirectly benefits me in many parts of my life. The Democratic party is also less tolerant of bigoted behavior than the Republican party is. The current president reflects upon this country extremely badly, yet the Republican party stands behind him with loyalty despite his diverse shortcomings.

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

I believe in values which align with the Republican positions. I am pro-life. I am for smaller government interference. I support lower taxes and a free capitalistic society. I am a supporter of a tougher stance on immigration and fully support building the border wall. I am for a strong decrease in government assistance programs and believe people should need to work hard and earn their way in life, not rely on handouts from the government. I love America and everything it stands for. We are by far the best country in the world as long as we stay true to our core values.

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

I am a republican because i believe that we need lower taxes. I work hard for my money and do not want my money paying high taxes for useful spending. I also think we need to take care of our citizens first and by doing that we need to stop illegal immigration. There are so many americans struggling right now that can not get any help but we are currently going out of our way to provide benefits to illegal immigrants that actual united states citizens can not get and that is a huge problem. I fully support a border wall and although it might not be ""modern"" it can help a bit and anything that can help should be implemented.

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

I am a Republican because my father, his father, my mother and her mother were Republicans. I was a strong Reagan supporter who fell in love with his actions to make the Berlin wall fall. He was a believer in people, he was a no nonsense guy who got things done. I am a Republican because I believe a free market system is good for all parties. I believe people need to work for a living instead of living off welfare. While I agree we need to help those in need to get back on track, it can not take 40 years to get there.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe the world is a village. I believe all countries should look out for the needs of each other, regardless of what country they are a citizen of. I believe people are all humans and so the world should be, in these modern times, caring of humans and not the labels they carry. Democrats care about the less fortunate and see people as individual beings aside from whatever actions they have done in their past. Life should not be a struggle. It should be a celebration of discovery and adventure. Life is what you make it.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe that the environment is very important. I think that we should definitely be putting more taxes and regulations in place to protect our beautiful home planet. I also think that we should protect our immigrants. We are all created equal and we all deserve a chance in this country. While I do believe we should do what we can to ensure the safety and equality of immigrants, I do still believe we should have some regulations on how they get here. I also believe we should make changes to the healthcare system in our country to make it more affordable to our people. Income inequality has made things very difficult for the lower class.

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 Republican because…”

I am a republican because I stand of securing the boarders by building the wall. I am pro life because I I believe every child has the right to a life just like any other human. I don't think medicare for all is going to help me or anyone in this country and will drive costs up like Obamacare did. I also believe that people should work hard for what they have earned and shouldn't be taxed like Democrats want to tax us. I don't want to give all my money in the form of taxes to people who do not want to work so they can get a guaranteed income just for living. Finally I am a Republican because I love this country and our flag.
