The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a Republican because I believe in America and the constitution. I believe in the free market system and that it fairly guides our economics. I believe in the value of work and making your own way. I think hand-outs are bad for our economy and for the people receiving them because they would not learn the pride and satisfaction of work. I believe in immigration, but only for those who follow the rules and do so legally. It is very unfair to put those who didn't come here legally on a path to citizenship ahead of those who have. I believe in our forefathers and that when we follow the constitution and what they have taught us we will thrive.

I am patriotic and a firm believer in personal responsibility. Our forefathers wrote the constitution and put things in place in order to protect ourselves from corruption. The first and second amendments to the constitution are critical to our republic. Furthermore, we must protect our borders. we cannot be a country without secure borders. If more people would accept personal responsibility for their actions, and embrace hard work and camaraderie, this world would be a lot better off. In our country, you are innocent until proven guilty. many seem to have forgotten this and it has led to the rise of many very unpatriotic organizations.

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

I am a Democrat because I value their beliefs as my own. In the United States we are burdened with massive amounts of school debt, that has no way of being paid back. The movement to forgive all student debt is a great start for our country to finally start taking care of the children in our society. The future of the world depends on our children, and there is no better way for us to ensure they have a future than to make school and medical services better and cheaper than ever. Healthcare for all was a great start by President Obama, and hopefully Vice President Biden will see this agenda through if elected in 2020.

I am a Democrat because we are a political party that is best reflective of people in this country. We are not defined by race, ideology, or religion. To reflect the progressive direction and identity of this country, programs like education, environmental regulations, civil protections, and public funding for the arts are essential from the government to further our ever evolving society. In addition, to reinforce our standing as a political party not defined by a race, ideology, or religion, we must allow all types of people from all types of backgrounds the same access that is provided for the population at large, or we will be failing them.

We need to strengthen healthcare and make sure it's available to everyone. We need to legally allow immigrants to stay and work here in America. America's most successful companies have been started by immigrants and we need to continue that tradition. I am a Democrat because I support equal rights and pay for women. Women are the building block of society, it's a shame that they are not paid equally.

I believe in women's right and civil rights. In the core of my person, I'm a progressive and support progressive values and stances. As A society we need to give disadvantages peoples a hand up so that as a society we will all function better. If there are people in our community doing badly it impacts everyone and the best way to combat this is to have resources in place that help disadvantaged people help themselves. I feel like it takes everyone working together to build a better society and that in order to do that we have to empower marginalized individuals so that they feel empowered and strong enough to overcome the obstacles in their lives.

I am a Democrat because I believe their efforts and policies line up best with my personal political views. Democrats typically favor government run programs and services for Education and Health Care and I agree that the free pursuit of health and knowledge is a right all humans should enjoy. I am in disagreement with many of the Republican points of view, and our system regrettably is a two party system. Even with the rise of fringe parties, I find myself aligning most with the Democratic party because I feel they care. I honestly believe a good portion of the work done by Democrats is in the best interest of all people.

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

I am a REPUBLICAN because I believe strongly in free markets and individual achievement that lead to economic prosperity. Additionally, I do not think the government should pay a big role in people's lives. A government that controls a majority of an individuals life is very similar to a ""Big Brother"" attitude that is detrimental to the fabric of our society and freedom. I am also opposed to abortion as I believe life begins at conception. I want people to work hard and continue to seek improvement while being kind to others. I believe in helping people, but I do not want to spoon feed others as it generally results in a lack of motivation.
