The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a democrat because it has always been important to me that I leave the world a better place then when I came into it. I worry tremendously about my children's futures. Their ability to access higher education without going into a large amount of debt is one of the reasons I look towards the Democratic Party for solutions. Access to education is important and anyone who wants to go to college should be able to. I also worry about my daughter growing up in a world where women don't have equal rights. Fair and equal pay, reproductive rights, freedom to feel safe as she moves around the world is so important. Lastly it is our responsibility as Americans to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves. We need to change our immigration policies to make it easier for people to come here and feel safe living here.

I am a Republican because I believe in personal responsibility. This country was founded on the idea that people should be able to get ahead based on their own hard work and sound decisions. The Republican party stands for people who create businesses or go to work every day without expecting government handouts. Americans like us should be allowed to keep more of our own hard-earned money instead of turning it all over to the Feds to distribute to people who don't want to pay their own way. Real Americans want to rule their own lives and not be labeled as victims of this or that, that's what Republicans stand for.
