The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am not gullible. I see the republican party as a greedy group of opportunist who lie and manipulate the system for their own monetary gain and at the expense of the American People. While I don't see the dem's always on the side of truth, I do see them working to benefit the american people. I also recognize that the Democrats do not have to suppress votes to stay in power. Gerrymandering is likewise, not as important for the democratic party. Put simply, the democrats don't have to cheat. I am an active member of the DNC but am not overly enthusiastic about it as I believe the dems should have done more about corruption in politics so the US would not be in the current mess it is in. I think the democrats have a responsibility there that they are not meeting and if they ever do meet it, the republican party would be wiped off the face of the earth. So while I don't think the dem's are perfect, they are my party. I just wouldn't mind if they would do just one little thing for me.... End the republican party. Just saying....

I am a democrat because I believe that the work that has been done to keep americans struggling in ways that are often disregarded as being unimportant is hurting America as we speak. Things like equal pay and the right to vote are just cream of the crop. We are moving in a direction that values women and people of color and people of different religions all around mor ethan ever. I cannot condone the behavior of the republicans that continue to manipulate and use the backs of hard working americans to further their agenda. What about our agenda. We need to feel like we are apart of america and it just hasn't felt that way. Wall street and friends are all making a profit off of us. Spiritually we are dead. We no longer know who we are as a people any more and now its limiting our growth.

I am a Democrat because my beliefs align with the beliefs of my fellow democrats on a lot of subjects. I believe in a fair and just economy. I believe in affirmative action. I believe in equal pay for women. I believe in a woman's right to choose what happens with her body in every situation. I believe that the direction that the country is going currently is bad for everyone and mostly for any minority- whether that minority is gender, race or religion based. I want a unified nation and I think we are at a crucial turning point where we need to elect leaders who have a better inclusive view.

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.

I am a republican because I believe in core values that many republicans believe in. I fall on the conservative side of many things on the political spectrum. I believe in a strong sense of god and I approve of many political ideologies such as immigration, healthcare and economics that fall on the conservative side of the spectrum. This does not mean I do not think all democrats or people that believe in liberal politics are idiots as I think there needs to be balance for democracy to work. We need to follow policies that are moderate but leaning a little bit towards conservative politics.

I am a Democrat because I can relate to their beliefs. I believe that everyone should be given a choice to determine what they want with their body. Men can decide what they want and why can't women? Women re not murderer and we can still think reasonably about abortion. Women who recklessly do abortion can be a Democrat or Republican because stupid people are in both parties. I also believe that gun control is important. I value traditional values but I think it is important to regulate guns so people who have access to gun are the right person. We are not in a war and mostly we need it to protect ourselves. Gun violence has been going up recently and very concerning. Please don't let gun harms your family, kids, loved ones before we do something about this. School is not safe anymore. US is the only country that permits gun and we are not more safe than other countries. Democrats don't want to take your guns. We just want to regulate and control how and who use it.

I am a Republican because I grew up in a Republican household. My values came from my parents who raised me. I believe in the American way, in the Constitution and freedom of speech. I believe that all men are created equal and that everyone has the right to vote their own mind. When it comes time to vote, however, I look at the candidates and try to decide their qualifications on their platforms and individual merit. I have voted for the democratic candidate when I felt that it was the better choice. I would not ever blindly vote a straight ticket as I feel that is irresponsible.

I am a REPUBLICAN because I first registered Republican to get in better with my boss even though I was a diehard liberal. But while registered as a Republican I started to read the campaign literature of Republican candidates and some of it made good sense. In comparison, the Democrats running in these races seemed kneejerk and unable to take a reasoned view of issues. The Democrats ran nasty campaigns and seemed to rely on labor votes to win, not caring about other voters or their needs. In office, the Democrats were corrupt. So gradually, over a period of time, I shifted to being Republican because they are more reasonable and helpful politicians, locally, in my state and nationally. I don't agree with all Republican positions on issues, but I now consider myself to be a Republican.

I am a Democrat because it seems that Democrats have always been on the side of the ordinary, hard-working American. They advocate for a fully funded Social Security system, which protects the elderly and infirm. They advocate for a robust Medicare and Medicaid program, so that people will not need to worry about how to pay for medications if they are elderly or poor. They support revising the immigration system, but do NOT support separating children from their parents or sending children who were born in this country to their parents' home country, which they have never visited. And they understand that climate change exists, the environment must be protected, and if there is going to be a tax break, it should go to working Americans, not to the richest ones.
