The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a republican because the republican party holds the best ideals for the USA. I have so much love for my country and the republican party is the party that respects. I do not want my rights taken away as a gun owner, unlike other political parties are calling for. It's in the constitution and no one should be able to take that away from me. I think we need to focus on Americans and keep illegals out of our country. The republican party understands that and wants to work towards a future that's best for Americans, not for people who come here illegally. I am a republican because America should be first, always.

I am a Democrat because I believe that everyone in this country is equal and should be treated as such. I believe that our country is a place of opportunity and those who wish to be a part of it should freely be allowed to do so. I believe in supporting our fellow human beings, no matter who they are, and ensuring that everyone can live in this country comfortably and happily. I support all individuals as well as respect their choices and the ability of them to make free choices. I'm a Democrat because I believe that everyone deserves the same chance in this country and that no one should be held back or discriminated against.

I am a Republican because when it comes to most issues I side with conservatives more than liberals.Things like states rights, taking unnecessary burdens off the backs of the American taxpayer, rooting corruption out of the government, allowing law abiding Americans to keep themselves safe with their right to bear arms, keeping our borders safe, and the federal government out of the affairs of the common man. And above all else the supremacy of the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. The federal gov has been overreaching these last few decades and republicans want to cut some of that back with regulations, the size of the fed gov, etc. Democrats/liberals only want to increase that by reaching into the affairs and wallet of the average american. And lately liberals have always been in an uproar about identity politics. None of that really matters when you can be perfectly accepting of others without being self righteous

I am a Republican because the principles of the Republican Party align with my beliefs. I am pro-life, pro-marriage, and believe in the limited government our founding fathers had ordained. I am very grateful for the opportunities this great country has given me. It is the party of freedom. Democrats have opposed civil rights every step of the way whether in terms of racial inclusion or woman's suffrage. Our first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, passed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves. After opposing this legislation, Democrats opposed the integration of freed slaves through Jim Crow laws and also by pandering to white nationalist or the Ku Klux Clan.

I am a democrat because my family has held this belief , and I am simply carrying on tradition and handing this down to my children as they grow older. I am African american and most of the majority in my culture support this political system than being with the republican party. I believe that republicans do not have sympathy for the working class that are lower and not wealthy according to their status.Democrats want to ensure that everyone has an advantage of receiving proper and adequate healthcare and benefits that do not send you into bankruptcy and allow you still provide for your family.

I am a democrat because this political party most closely reflects my own personal values. I believe that all people should be treated equal and have the same opportunities afforded to them, regardless of what color their skin is, what country they originated from, how much money they have, what gender they are, or what gender they love. I also believe that it is the government's responsibility to ensure that everyone is treated equally under the law. I think there's a big misconception about Democrats, where people from different parties think all we want to do is make your life miserable.

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

I am a Republican because I feel more inline with Republican political beliefs than Democratic beliefs. I am a conservative that is very religious, and these beliefs that I have are more right winged than left. I am a supporter of our current President and always have been since he confirmed he was running for President. I think that he is bringing real change to the US, and I strongly like his views on immigration. I also like how our current President is changing it up in the white house and really making our presence known around the world as a force and leader in this world.

I am a democrat because of the way politics is being played our in current times. In truth, there are many issues that I am undecided on; I am uncertain on how to solve the ongoing cost of college for example. My decision to vote primarily democrat is based on one or two fundamental issues I care about that the other major side does not. One of the ongoing issues in this country is the notion that we do not need to care about minorities or the issues that women face (for example). So long as one side continues to ignore the voices that ask for change rather than engaging them meaningfully and with human compassion, it is unreasonable for me to vote for that side.

I am a Republican because I am anti abortion, I am for capitalism, and I don't want our country to become Socialist. I think that the Democrats want to give too much away to illegals and that is dangerous for our country. I can't stand that the Democrats won't even fight to keep our borders safe and they act like that anybody can come into our country without reprecussions. I am a proud American and a proud Republican and believe President Trump is doing a great job for our country and our economy. He will definitely win the next election.

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

I believe in the well-being of all human beings. People should be treated equally, paid equally and have the same opportunities to advance their goals. The issues important to me are Healthcare, Environmental responsibility, Education reform and gun control. Although immigration is important to the economy, I support a limited border policy in order for the United States to be able to manage populations for efficiently. I believe solutions can be achieved by embracing the best from all the races of people. Additionally, I support a woman's right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay.
