The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a Republican because I am fiscally conservative. Bottom line that is the main reason on why I am registered a Republican. I support same-sex marriage, gender/race equality, and pretty much align with liberals on most social issues besides when it comes to enforcing obnoxious gun regulations. I think the Federal Government is trying to take too much control over the country but like the majority of Republicans, I support State's right over a very controlling and over-stepping Federal government. All in all, I think high taxes is just stupid and I'm sorry, I prioritize my own family's well-being over anybody else even if they happen to be less fortunate, as harsh as it sounds.

i am a democrat because i believe in equality and helping my fellow man. if people are struggling it is our duty as americans to help them. there is more than enough wealth at the top 1% to help the rest of the 99%. i believe we need free healthcare. you should not have to worry about not being insured or having to go in debt if you need medical help. decades of racism has made it difficult for people of color to succeed in this economy. we need to put an end to the systemic racism plaguing this country. xenophobia and fear mongering is continuing to make it difficult for people of color and immigrants. it is a woman's right to regulate her own body, not some old white man that is out of touch with the people. we need to make education affordable for all people so they have the opportunity to rise up.

I am a Democrat because I am a progressive thinker. I am a Democrat because I believe this country is headed in the wrong direction. I believe that medical insurance is a right for all and the government should pay for it. I believe we should open the borders and let people from other counties come in. As a Democrat, we should have an open-door policy. I am a Democrat because I believe we should have free education for all. That means that all students graduating from High School or young adult that want to attend High School can do so. This would be best for our country.

I am a Democrat because I believe in the values and principles that are core to the party. I believe in helping the poor and less fortunate. I believe in equality and providing assistance to those in need. I despise the fact that major corporations get away with tax evasion, unearned subsidies and fraud each and every single year. I think having a larger government is critical to improving society and providing better services to the public. I believe the party is more honest and upfront about their intentions and plans. With all of that said I am happy to say I am a member of the Democrat party.

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

I am a republican because I believe in a small federal government. I believe there should be less taxation and less control of federal government in local and state affairs. We should be able to choose how we would like to do things, including what we spend our money on, who we decide to hire and how and if we choose to serve others. I believe the constitution put things in place to protect our rights from a big government, like the right to bear arms and we should be highly skeptical of anyone trying to repeal these things kept in place to protect us.

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

I am a Democrat because my personal beliefs align better with the Democratic party than the Republican party. While I am much more liberal than the average Democrat, I believe that abortion should be legal, the country needs campaign finance reform, stricter gun laws, better access/more affordable health care, and more regulations on companies. Most democrats tend to agree with me on these issues, while members of the other major party does not. I read a wide variety of news, avoiding getting too much information from any one news site. While I would like to see the democratic party move further to the left, I am okay with where it is right now.

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

I grew up in a fairly large city and with parents who were both moderate Democrats. The schools that I went to were all very liberal in their teachings. Most of my friends are all moderates to very liberal. I live in a very liberal neighborhood in a very liberal city and a somewhat liberal state. Once I reached voting age I felt that the right thing to do was to vote for the candidates that felt the way I did about issues. That happened to be the Democratic Party and while I find myself mostly voting with them, I have on occasion voted for another party.

Compassionate conservatism works in the best interests for those struggling in America. The more we become dependent on the federal government, the more we frustrate our individual liberties. Instead of the Democrat-style of compassion shown through government handouts we must create an environment that inspires communities and individuals to take advantage of opportunities to improve their condition. Individuals have the power to change, and government can help them lead better lives.Republicans are also best suited to maintain the balance of power between the three branches of government: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Conservative Presidents and Governors nominate, and conservative Senators confirm, good, honest judges who interpret the laws and who do not act like super-legislators from the bench.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe that our country needs to focus more on the average person rather than on the wealthy. I believe in equality for all races and genders, and I believe in allowing people to live the lifestyle that makes them happiest (gay marriage, etc). I believe the country spends too much money on military, and benefits the wealthy more than it should. Money could be better spent providing services to those in need, helping immigrants, helping students with student loan debt, making healthcare affordable, and in general making sure that the abundance of wealth in this country is distributed in a way that everyone can benefit from.
