The Ideological Turing Test

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

My parents were democrat and I was raised as one. My views are that of a democrat. I believe in abortion rights, same sex marriage, better healthcare, and better immigration rights. I believe government should reward businesses only after they have created jobs for Americans. I think a free enterprise system for working and middle class is a great idea. I believe in limited government and limited big business. I believe the rich don't always earn their wealth, and the poor frequently aren't to blame for their poverty. No one should be homeless, jobless, or neglected. I think prisons should be violent criminals, not drug addicts.

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

I'm a Republican because I believe in American exceptionalism. I believe in tradition, American tradition, and I believe that we, as a country, must stay true to what made us great in the first place. So when I see people clamoring for equality for all, it makes me think that they don't believe in the American ideals of excellence, and working you way to the top through hard work. Instead it makes me think that what they want is handouts. They want to be paid for little effort. They want others' hard earned money to pay for their lifestyle. And more often than not, people like that, who don't abide by the American ideals of hard work are Democrats. Not all of them, sure, but enough that I feel that the Democratic party is disloyal to America and the truth of this country. That's why I'm a Republican.

I am a Republican because I favor the moral values exuded by the party, such a pro-life stance, I respect for law and order and love of country. Additionally, I am a strong proponent of small government intrusion into all aspects of ones life. The fore fathers were of the thought that governement should be limited and utilized as required by the citizens. It was not meant to make decisions for the people of the country. We are a free people who should not be told how big our drink should be or what type of weapons or whether or not we can vape or not.

I am Democrat because I believe in equality. I feel that everyone should have an equal opportunity in this country despite what type of situation they were born into. I feel that Republican people based too many things on status and are too concerned with hoarding all the money for the powerful 1 percent. I do not feel they care about making the country a place where all people deserve to make a living and survive. I feel like Democrats are more open to allowing all people to have a place in society. This makes all the difference to me and is the reason why I chose to become a Democrat.

I am a Republican because I believe that life begins at conception, and that life should be saved no matter the cost. I am a Republican because I believe the military should be supported and we should spend whatever necessary to show America is the greatest country in the world to live in. I am also a Republican because I believe the government spends too much as is, and we should limit our spending for unnecessary budgets, thereby increasing our reserves and treasurer resources. My father was a Republican who served in the Korean War, and I grew up in a family who was proud of their conservative values.

I am a Republican first and foremost because I am Pro Life. No babies should ever be aborted. I understand certain situations where someone is raped, but even those cases, it is not fair. It should be taken care of the minute they know, so human life doesn't suffer. We have done a great job pushing it through the US and banning the Abortion thanks to Trump and our strong followers. We as a party need to band together and keep the evil Demcrats out of office, and from ruining our traditional way of life. We are sick of it and fed up.

I am a Democrat because I believe the world is a village. I believe all countries should look out for the needs of each other, regardless of what country they are a citizen of. I believe people are all humans and so the world should be, in these modern times, caring of humans and not the labels they carry. Democrats care about the less fortunate and see people as individual beings aside from whatever actions they have done in their past. Life should not be a struggle. It should be a celebration of discovery and adventure. Life is what you make it.

I believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored. I believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.I believe free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.I believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.I believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs least.

I am a Democrat because as a black women it was ingrained in me from a very early age that's who I should support. Everyone in my family that I grew up with were Democrats and talked about how issues that were important to people like us would be brought forth and supported by that party while the other side didn't care if we made it or not. I never really gave it a second thought and naturally fell into line when I turned 18 and got my first chance to vote. I didn't know much about who I voted for at the time but because they were fellow Democrats they automatically got my vote.

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

I am a democrat because I believe in health care for all. If we were to get rid of the private health insurance system and go to a one payer system it would be something that would be better for everyone. I am also a democrat because I believe that guns should only be used for a sporting purpose and most people do not legitimately have a need to own a gun. All guns that can be used by the military or similar to a military gun should not be allowed to be used. I am also a democrat because I believe that the current dreamers that are in this country should be allowed to stay in this country.
