The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a Democrat because I believe our country is in a fast decline based on the current leaders in position. I look forward to voting in the next election and hope that the outcome will generate a fresh, new approach to the vision of America. There are a multitude of well-qualified candidates that are lining up to take on the responsibility of putting America back on the right track. I am confident that our Party will have a high voter turn out when it's Election time and that we will be victorious in filling the House, Senate, and Presidential seat!

I am a Democrat because I believe in equal rights for every one. Gays ,straights, people from other countries, women, religion, everyone. I believe that their should be peace for everyone. Not just the rich. I believe that we should help all people. Rich and poor. Not just the rich and the coorprates. I believe the death peanlity should be only used in certain cases. I want stricter law on gun control to stop a lot of the shooting out in the world today. It would help stop some people that should not have access to a gun from getting one.

I am a republican because I believe the greatest strength of our nation lies in the individual‚ right to the pursuit of life, liberty, property and happiness. I believe in the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, and equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all under the law. I believe the role of government should be limited to the powers stated in the Constitution, because government that governs least governs best.I believe in conservative values, Christianity and keeping God first to look over this Country. I believe in Peace through strength because strength deters aggression and military strength depends on a sound economy.

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

I am a Republican because I believe in a free market and less government encroaching on the lives of citizens and the practices of businesses. I believe in hard work as the path to success. In America, there are plenty of opportunities for anyone to succeed and have a comfortable life if they are willing to put in the work and not try to leech off of free money from the government, or take money from wealthy people who worked hard to achieve what they have. I also support strengthening our borders, though not necessarily by building a wall, but rather by putting more money into border patrol and technological security measures. There is nothing racist or immoral about focusing on taking care of the people who are citizens of the country first. I think it's fine to support humanitarian work, but people who cross the borders illegally are breaking laws and that makes them criminals. There's no reason to be letting criminals freely into the country. My family has also owned guns for many years, and we are responsible users, like most gun owners are, so I believe in protecting gun rights.

I am a Democrat because I care about other people and not just myself at the end of the day. I always have a large amount of empathy for others and their suffering. This is one of the fundamental differences between Democrats and Republicans. Although I may not agree with everything that everyone chooses to do or how they live their lifestyle, I am a Democrat because I believe that NO MATTER WHAT everyone regardless of race, gender identification, sexual orientation or religion should be treated with the same respect and have the same access to human rights as every other person. I believe that's this country is not just about ""freedom"" but it's also about peace and harmony between a variety of different types of people. If that means that certain freedoms such as ""gun rights"" need to be taken away in order to promote peace and demote violence than so be it. I'm a democrat because I'm not going to let the fact that I want to carry a gun with me and that I want to be rich and have all the resources keep me from looking out for other people at the end of the day. I'm a Democrat because I'm willing to make personal sacrifices for the good of the general public.

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

I am a REPUBLICAN because I believe in less government. I don't believe that we really should have the government responsible for every little thing. I don't believe the government is the answer to every problem. That will only lead to a much bigger problem. The more we depend upon the government the more we give up our freedom and liberties. I have the same compassion as the Democrats but people need to actually take advantage of the opportunities already put in place to improve their condition. People need to become more accountable for their situation in life. If they are not happy there are plenty of avenues to improve the way they feel about there lives.

I am a democrat because I believe in the validity of the dignity of the individual. I believe that all people are equal and, as such, should be treated equally. Indeed, as a democrat, I identify with the basic needs of the person. Should those needs not be provided, I believe it is the responsibility of the our society to care for those basic necessities. Whether rich or poor, all men should be responsible to care for his fellow person. Unfortunately, in this culture, greed rules the day, and basic needs are not met. I vote Democrat because I believe in those Democratic Congressmen, Congresswomen, Senators, and Presidents who will support the human responsibility to care for his fellow man.

Because there are only 2 real choices and the other one doesn't mesh with my personal beliefs. I'm not going to pretend that being a republican is the greatest thing or that it's perfect but I just support things like lower taxes and less regulation so it's the only choice for me. I don't agree with everything they push or want people to vote for but what I do know is that President Donald J. Trump at the very least saved us for 4(8) years of likely a push to remove free speech and gun rights that we will get during the next democratic president.

I am a republican because I love America. I also am a republican the republican morals go hand in hand with my religious beliefs. I am pro guns and prolife. I am also in support of the wall being built to protect our borers. I feel that our President is doing a great job and I trust him very much. I truly think that he is trying very hard to make America Great again. I believe that republicans try to do what is best for this country in a fair and just way. I wish that the democrats would back off and let Trump run the country! Merica!

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

I am a democrat because I believe in the rights of humankind. There should not be restrictions on social issues and welfare just because of your creed, gender, religion, nationality, and/or belief structure. I am a minority women who is very concerned about the current status of our country today, and the amount of restrictions that the government is trying to impose on women's rights. My body, my choice, and democrats share that belief with me. I also believe that in the United States of America, everyone should be entitled to a certain standard of life, including liveable income, healthcare, social justice, etc. It is the government's job to assist with that.
