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 the beliefs and values associated with my political party. For one, as an individual I firmly believe that everyone should be treated fair and equal regardless of their race, gender, income, sexual orientation or beliefs. This is one of the strongest beliefs shared by all Democrats! This is only one of the many reasons that I am a Democrat and thus makes me well-suited to my party. Another strong belief between my party and I, is the belief in equal educational opportunities. Fairness in educational opportunities is not only the moral thing to have, but it is the very backbone to a more fair and stable society overall. There are many other reason's that I am a Democrat, but the overall and very main reason is that, simply put, I share the Democratic party's beliefs. They are my suited party and we are as one!

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

I am a republican because I believe that each individual person is responsible for themselves and for their place in society. The government should be there solely to aid people in that regard. Additionally, the government should step in solely when society cannot function at the level of the individual. Society should be generally focused on the individual, local, community, and state level; not the federal level. The best government for the people is one that is closest to the people, and as such the government should not interfere unless they are needed. Our country should work first and foremost to protect national freedom first, while working to spread peace, freedom, and human rights in the world.

I am a democrat because I have a strong opinion of things like the right to mandatory free healthcare, the right to make a decision as to whether a person wants to carry a child, and generally people's rights. I also feel that the government should step in more and help the homeless people and the people who are surviving on precious little in this country. There should be aid for the people, rather than big businesses, and the extreme wealthy should be taxed more, to provide for those who are ""stuck"" in minimum wage jobs with no way to build wealth. Clearly there is an imbalance in the country and I feel that Democratic views are simply closer to reaching a solution than are Republicans.

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

I am a Republican because I love America and Americans. Republicans are very patriotic, we believe in FREEDOM, and less government. We believe in freedom of choice. We believe in our military, and the choice to have guns. It is all about choices. I am a Republican because I love immigration, but believe illegal immigration needs to be stopped. I love our flag and cherish it. I feel like the American dream still exists, work hard and you can have it. It will never be granted by government handouts. Socialism will never work, and the lazy will take advantage, trickle-down economics is what will and does work in this amazing country

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

I am a REPUBLICAN because I believe the government should be limited and only interfere when it is absolutely necessary. I am also a republican because I believe that people should keep the money that they earn, and that it shouldn't be collected in taxes just to give handouts to the poor. I believe that healthcare should remain private and not controlled or influenced by the government and also that immigation needs reform to eliminate illegal immigrants coming into the United States. I am also a Republican because I believe that we the people should have the right to bear arms and not be too heavily restricted in our gun choices by the government. I am also a Republican because I believe that abortion should be illegal except possibly in extreme cases where the life of the mother is in danger if the pregnancy continues. I am a Republican because I care about our country.

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

Democrats believe in things humans really need. Not about just what they want. We believe in climate change. We know the Earth is dying, and we accept it. We know we need to do something to promote change. The other thing that is super major is Democrats think healthcare is a RIGHT. It needs to be a thing in everyone's life. Otherwise, it just is not humane. We also believe in public education and it should be available to EVERYONE. Not just those with enough money. We believe in the things that are rights, or at least should be rights, to every human.

I am a republican because I do not agree with the Democrats on handling the crisis at the border. The Democrats would want to give free healthcare to those who are not citizen of this country and that is something I cannot seem to wrap my head around. Why would we take resources away from those that we born here, or came here legally through the correct process, and give it to those who should not be here. It takes away from American citizens and will make it harder to get the care you need if this comes to pass. Another issue with the Democrats I have is that they do not want to question people on the 2019 census and ask if they are a US Citizen or not. That to me is just absurd since we need to take count of American citizens and not having that question on there, in my mind, takes away from the whole point of the US Census.

I am a Democrat because I believe in full equality towards everyone in every way, I believe that EVERYONE needs economic security, not just the top percentage of the rich. I believe business should be rewarded for bringing jobs into the community. I believe in competitive sales and markets for local and small businesses alike, not just the huge trillionaire companies out there. I also believe there should be a fair tax system overall, not one should have more than the other and those should count towards businesses also. Everything should be equal in every aspect. I believe that my opinion and beliefs should be based upon reason and facts rather than anger and hostility. These are my reasons for being a strong democrat.

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

I am a democrat because I believe that all people deserve rights, even if granting those rights means that we, as a society, have to change certain core beliefs and traditions. For example, I believe that all people, no matter where they are from, have a right to education beyond high school, and universal health care. Though these things might mean higher taxes and a trend towards democratic socialism, to me it is a small price to pay to know that everyone stands on a level playing field, and no one will die simply because they could not afford a doctor's visit. Obviously there is more to being a democrat than just education and healthcare, but to me, even just these two reasons are enough.

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

Because there are only 2 real choices and the other one doesn't mesh with my personal beliefs. I'm not going to pretend that being a republican is the greatest thing or that it's perfect but I just support things like lower taxes and less regulation so it's the only choice for me. I don't agree with everything they push or want people to vote for but what I do know is that President Donald J. Trump at the very least saved us for 4(8) years of likely a push to remove free speech and gun rights that we will get during the next democratic president.
