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

I am a DEMOCRAT because I believe in bettering our society and progressing it for the future generations. It is important that we teach others to care for our planet and others. I believe that everyone should have a chance at a better life and given the opportunity to be what they want to be. By giving people the ability to have easier access to things we can increase the amount of people who can better society who may have not had the opportunity otherwise. Believing in people to do good for the world and others is important to my beliefs.

I am a democrat because I believe in egalitarianism, everyone should have equal rights. I think there should be stricter rules on gun control. I believe women should be able to have abortions longer than 8 weeks. I think humans are directly effecting the climate with fossil fuels. I believe there's too many rich people who own much more than everybody else and this is where capitalism is flawed, monopolies are taking over. Bernie Sanders has a spotless past and was even arrested for standing up to school segregation in the 60's. Donald Trump is dividing the country and doesnt care who he offends with his hate rhetoric.

I consider myself as very cultural and traditional , i think what makes us human is our morale decadence and if we don't uphold morality we are no different from animals.The world is competitive and i feel only the strongest should survive, even great books like the Bible and the Quaran acknowledges that the world belongs to the brave and shuns cowardice .I feel giving a aids to countries who are impoverished other than those that have suffered conflicts in one way or the other is just a way of encouraging weakness and those resources should be diverted into nation building and improving our national security.I also think we should live as our rightful place in the global economy , because we are giants and we should act like one.I am Republican and i am proud and brave

I am a Republican because I believe in smaller government. I believe that the government should be less involved in our every day life. I believe that there should be less rules and regulations that stifle our economic progress. I think that there should be less bureaucratic offices and procedures. We should focus more on being individuals and respect everyone's right to freedom of choice. We should respect each and every person based upon their abilities and accomplishments. If you just so happen to be more talented, you are warranted the success and wealth that it achieves and should not be taxed any more than anyone else.

I support the religious liberties of private businesses to decide which customers they serve, not because I condone discrimination or treating others with anything less than the utmost respect, but because I acknowledge the wishes of those who conscientiously object to religous practices that directly conflict with their own religious beliefs. Just as no one should be mistreated or disrespected in any way for how they identify themselves or how they choose to live their lives, so too should we respect the consciences of all Americans to decide for themselves what religous actions are right, wrong or neutral. This is one of the many reasons I am a Republican.

I chose republican because the party itself aligns there beliefs with a more conservative approach which better describes me. I am against same sex marriage, abortion, and for gun control and capital punishment. I do however believe that Donald Trump is very bad for the party as a whole and I feel that we do need a change in leadership. But I just can't change parties because my feelings just do not match up or align with liberals. I can't stand liberals to a point where when most of them just as appear as social justice warriors which is to much of a pet peeve for me to look past. I rather take Trump.

I am a democrat because I was raised to be a democrat. I am an African American woman, so are my parents, and their beliefs definitely influenced mine. As I grew up, I started to learn the ins and outs of politics and how much more Democrats seem to care about society at large, those who are minorities, and those who are pushed around by life in general. Republicans only care about themselves and the big business that are ruining America. Being a democrat shows that I care about someone other than myself and that reflects my own true views perfectly.

I love America, and I love my family and hometown. Because of those things the environment is VERY important to me. I know that climate change is causing my home to be at more risk for flooding and I support the Democratic party because the Republicans are in denial about climate science and would rather line their pockets and protect the American people. I also fear the Republicans will eliminate my right to choose what I do with my body...and what my fellow women can do with their bodies. And speaking of bodies...the body count of children the Republicans have racked up at our border is unacceptable and unamerican. How can any American vote any way other than Democratic when they see those poor, terrified children kept in cages?!? Time to replace Trump and replace those who support him.

I am a Republican for many reasons, of which I'll just touch on two: abortion and illegal immigration. I don't like how the left can't understand that abortion is murder and can only be reasonably justified when the life of the mother is at stake. All they seem to care about is their ""right to choose""...but what about the baby who has no say over whether or not its life is brutally terminated? It's just honestly disgusting to me, and this is one of the primary reasons why I will never vote Democratic. As for illegal immigration, I just want people to follow the law. There are tons of hard working LEGAL immigrants that I have no problem with. But how the left is completely okay with not only allowing illegal immigration, but ENCOURAGING it (setting up sanctuary cities, etc) just completely boggles my mind. It's not fair to legal immigrants, it's not fair to low-skilled workers, and it's definitely not fair to the millions of honest, hardworking American taxpayers who have to pick up their slack.

I am a Democrat because I believe that society should work for all Americans, not just a privileged few. All too often in this country, society is set up so those on the bottom stay at the bottom, while those on the top get richer at society's expense. Maybe it's the millions of Americans who struggle to pay for healthcare while the wealthy gets access to the best care with ease. Or maybe it's watching hardworking Americans pay taxes while billionaires get tax breaks. Trickle down economics has proven not to work, except to make the wealthy, wealthier. As a Democrat, I don't mind people being wealthy, I do mind them not paying their fair share. So to conclude, I'm a Democrat as I want everyone in society to be treated fairly. I have my own conscience to answer to.
