The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a democrat for various reasons. First, I believe strongly in same sex marriage and the right of each person to spend the rest of their life with whomever they want. Government has no right to not allow two happy people to be together. Also, women have the right to choose whether or not to bring their unborn child into this world. Also, the way Trump is handling immigration and the building of a wall is ridiculous and cruel. Finally, if we want our world to be sustainable in the future, we must find a solution to our climate change problem. Don't even get me started on guns. I'm so tired of people talking about how allowing people to use weapons is going to make things safer. No it won't!! Guns kill, no matter who has them.

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 democrat because they support my beliefs and I oppose a lot of Republican ideals. Two of the biggest things are abortion and marriage equality. I am pro-choice; It should be the woman's decision in regards to what happens to their body. The LGBTQ+ community has been shunned and restricted for so many years, I believe it's finally time for all of America to embrace the fact that they're just ordinary people that happen to like the same gender. I don't believe they're out to convert the country, they just want to be able to develop a deeper bond with their significant other through marriage. I also dislike how the Republicans have been treating the relationship between Big Business/Banks vs. The People; big businesses and high ranking individuals (CEOs, VPs, etc.) have been getting away with their greed, going through loopholes to maximize their paychecks and it's time for them to get punished.

I am a Democrat because I believe I believe in equal rights. I believe that no one should be discriminated against no matter their race, ethnicity, beliefs, gender, or sexual orientation. I believe that women should have the option of abortion. Immigrants (both legal and illegal) have the right to legally stay in this country. They shouldn't have to be torn away from their families in such horrific ways. I believe the government has a responsibility to make jobs for the poor and middle class people. I believe American college students shouldn't have to graduate with tremendous amounts of debt.

I believe in traditional family values. My family has always been Catholic, I have always been Catholic, and I always will be Catholic. While I don't completely agree with everything point on the platform, the Republican party is really the only choice for those who identify with their traditional christian views. Further I believe everyone should work for what they have. Social assistance programs do have their place, but their use and expansion has become ridiculous. There needs to be stringent rules in place to qualify for these programs and strong accounting of the management of these programs to make sure everything is run correctly. The modern democratic party is incapable of making tough mature decisions like this. It is full of young, inexperienced and naive people who should not have as much power as they do.

I am a Democrat because I believe that we, as humans, should take care of, not only other humans, but also the planet. I believe the rights of people are more important than profits. I believe every human has a right to be treated with dignity. I believe healthcare is a right for everyone, not just the rich. Someone shouldn't die because they couldn't afford to go to the doctor. That is just unbelievable in this day and age. I believe that we can all work together to improve living conditions for ourselves and others. Finally, I am a Democrat because I believe we are the only hope for saving the planet.

I am a Democrat because I strongly believe in a liberal way of doing things. I believe that ALL people are equal regardless of their race, ethnicity, political party, or sexual orientation. Let's talk about sexual orientation for a minute. It makes me so angry when I hear slurs and hatred towards these groups of people! The things I hear about transgender people, especially, make me sick! How dare anyone judge these groups! The Republicans think they are so high and mighty. Most of the older Republican men are misogynists, especially Trump, and he's our President. Nice example of what a President should be! The way Republicans think of women in general angers me. I am a woman and proud of it. I should be able to earn equal pay for equal jobs, advance just as quickly in my profession as a man, and most of all, decide what I want to do with my body. I believe in freedom of speech and express my beliefs when I feel a need. I believe in peaceful protests. One of my biggest problems with the United States today is our immigration problem. Keeping children away from their parents, locked in cages, without proper care is an atrocity in this country! We need to let them come in and be given as much care as they need. I could go on, but I will end here. Shame on Trump!

I am democrat because I believe all of the things they believe in. The important topics they support, I support too. Most of my family are Democrats too so I think that helps being one as well and just keeping in the family. I am a democrat because being a republican is everything I don't believe in and I really can't stand their opinion. I am a democrat because I am very open minded and I love to hear about other people opinions. I am a democrat because it matches with my goals and I feel like it is the moral decision.

I am a proud Republican because I believe our nation needs to take a step back, and honor those principles that this nation was originally founded with. I grew up on a ranch, and have seen what happens to our economy when we have liberal politicians voted in. I firmly believe in the sanctity of marriage, in the right to bear arms, and that we need more religion in this country. I want less government intrusion in my business, and reign in the government spending before we're all poor. I am a republican because this country has gotten out of hand, and it is time to put it back on track.

I am a republican because I seek the greater good for myself, my family, and my country. I want to protect our country's morals, values, property, jobs, and families. I want this country to go back to a time when people actually cared about our country. I want to live in an America that I am comfortable raising and leaving my kids behind in. I feel like we worry too much about helping the wrong people instead of helping ourselves. I am a republican because my values and morals do not change with the style, mood, or weather. I am a republican because I care about my family.
