The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a Democrat because I believe in equality. I believe that we should not be putting children in concentration camps because of our batshit insane president. I believe that every race, gender, etc should have equal rights and not be discriminated for how they look or who they are. I am a democrat because I don't believe in people in difficult economic situations having to choose between being able to pay for healthcare or dying. More than anything though I am a democrat because I find it impossible to look at the crazy bullshit that republicans do and think that it's ok.

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

I'm not going to make some statement about our founding fathers or freedom or amendments or any of the typical things you hear when people start going off about their political beliefs. Yes, I believe in my country. I love my country. I love my freedom and independence and rights. But that's not WHY I'm a Republican. I don't believe that Dems/liberals don't love/appreciate/want the same things. Frankly, I am a Republican on the simple basis of the way the GOP operates. It's not that I believe Dems are looking for handouts or whatever, it's not that I'm of a generation that came from nothing and only got to where I am by pulling myself up by my bootstraps. I just want to live my life. I don't like being neck deep in an internet forum reading about how the world is getting to be more and more Orwellian as time goes on and I don't think people (Dems especially) realize that the GOP is the party LESS LIKELY to make things like that worse. The government should stay out of the lives of civilians, plain and simple. I feel like Dems don't realize that the more the government ""helps,"" the more likely they are to start holding things over Americans' heads. I don't know if I'm saying it right. TL;DR: I am a Republican because I don't want the government in my business any more than they have to be. Nothing comes without costs and be careful what you wish for.

I am a Democrat because I believe in Democrat values like helping the poor, fixing the climate, and keeping peace through out the world. I am a progressive Democrat and believe we need to keep progressing as a country. Health care needs to be accessible for all. We need to start doing more for our climate because we are destroying it at a rapid pace. Right now I am very interested in Kamala Harris because she did great in the debate and put a spotlight on Biden's issues. I really think she will do good against Trump in a debate as well. Whoever the Democratic candidate that is elected in the primary I will vote for though.

I am a Republican, because if we let those avocado toast-eating Libs take us over, they will turn us into a socialist country. I'm tired of the coastal elites with their ivy league attitudes and corruption, taking money from lobbyists and foreign countries (Hillary - we call her Killary lol). We need to keep Trump in so we can keep saying Merry Christmas and keep making this country great again. I'm Republican because I love American, where we work hard and don't just laze around taking money from the government to buy our beer and smokes and we don't let illegals just flock in.

I am a democrat because it is the party of the working class citizen, not the party of the greedy corporate fat cats. Unlike the republicans, who don't want to treat anyone else but themselves as so much as an actual human being, the democrat party actually cares about something more than themselves. We care about the social justice of the working class citizen. We care about the environment and don't believe in raping and pillaging it for our own gain at the expense of the planet. We believe in a fair living wage. We don't believe that if you're poor then you should just die because you can't afford healthcare. We don't believe that your gender should have any role to play in how well you are compensated at your job. We believe in more than a bottom line. We believe in people.

I am a Republican because I believe in the core values that our great nation was founded upon. I believe in the men and women who fought and are currently fighting for our rights. I believe we're a strong country that is growing stronger under the right direction within our government and due to The White House being led by a Republican again, who can set things straight once more. And I believe that my party upholds the traditional and moral values for the benefit of our country and our society, as well as that they correspond with how I raise my family, and what I want my children to value.

I am a Democrat because I believe in fairness and opportunity for everyone. Too much of our nation's wealth has gone to a tiny group of billionaires that has not given back in proportion to what they have received. Meanwhile, many Americans struggle in poverty with limited opportunities to escape. We should be working to eliminate barriers such as discrimination and poverty that prevent each and every member of society from achieving their best. I believe that a strong America is one where everyone has access to safe and affordable communities with housing, food/water, healthcare, and opportunities to reach their highest potential.

I am a Republican because I believe in the values our country was founded on. I believe hard work and pride are key to success. Our country will only benefit if we all do our part and honor the laws of the land. We should all work to build our communities stronger. We should all practice strong moral values. This means we should be able to protect our country and our families. Doing this we can ensure proper beliefs are carried on to our next generation. We should not encourage unlawful and immoral behavior, such acts will weaken our country.

I am a Democrat because I believe in the rights of others. I feel that the US is an unfair place, where the rich get richer and the poor stay there. This country was founded on countless people coming to the US from other country's and to turn them away is a crime. Inocent children are striped from their family's and placed in cages. They are are treated like criminals when all they wanted was to provide for their family's. The government is ran by racist bigots who only care about how much money goes into their pocket, they don't care about others. It needs to stop.

I am a DEMOCRAT because their values and ideas are usually consistent with my own. For example, a democrats position on policies, such as healthcare, pro-life/pro-choice, gun control, the environment, and the wealth distribution, will usually align with my own. I believe that healthcare should be universal and no one should fear going bankrupt and losing everything because of medical issues. I believe a woman should have a choice when it comes to abortion. I believe in stricter gun control laws. I believe that more should be done to protect the environment. I believe that more should be done to address the wealth gap in this country.
