Republicans and Diet Republicans. Those are your choices.
ProcrastinatingWork
Diet republicans! When you just want a little bit of fascism and still have room for health care. Love it.

Anyone got one for British Politics, I need a reference to figure out how "left" Sanders is for UK "Left"

Thank you, this helps me a fair bit to understand US Politics more
ProcrastinatingWork
Its not 100% accurate but really gives a good overview of how politics leans one way or the other. And shows how little we get to pick from

I wanna see Hitler up there for reference.
filben7
Very top right corner.
filben7
Edit: According to the website very top, slightly right of center. Either way the farther top you go the more you suck.

Where is Kanye though?
hoopsnek
He came in after the chart was published.
AnonymousBach
About twenty seconds to Mars.
ProcrastinatingWork
Far top right
KloDar
Williamson it is.
ProcrastinatingWork
I'd say, "whatever your heart tells you", but I think its too risky this time. Vote the lesser evil please.
Lemmingofdarkestnight
Sounds about right.
justlivinthedream
Apparently it's just me and Williamson? .
DavidBrooker
Been awhile since I took this quiz, so I thought I'd try again. Huh. How about that.
ProcrastinatingWork
Not bad! It really takes some careful thought and consideration to hit that far bottom left corner.
AttackOfTheSpaceBat
I'm -3, -7. Not as close to the bottom as he is but I'm down further than Gandhi so I have that going for me, which is nice.
ProcrastinatingWork
Still good! It's really going for that goal of a complete enlightened society to get the bottom left corner.

THIS. Motherfuckers out here think Bernie is a radical leftist and it's infuriating.
ProcrastinatingWork
He's where the middle should be. IMO
TheRealAlpharius
He's where the middle is, imo. He's not trying to end capitalism, he's trying to save it by making it viable.

Dude they think Biden and Kamala are radical leftists. At some point you'll realize that's a election tactic.
Megamastermetamememaker
Biden that far right ?!
ProcrastinatingWork
Sadly, that is the current state of things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden#Political_positions
filben7
He authored the Patriot act and the crime bill. He is a hard right authoritarian.
DavidBrooker
Yes. If you transplanted Biden to the 70s, he'd be a middle-of-the-road Republican.
ButtBot9900
Yes. There really are no far left political candidates in the US.
ProcrastinatingWork
I keep having to explain to right wing people that they will win no matter who wins this election.
canigifinpaint
The US might be right-wing compared to most western European countries but this test is 100% fake. The people who run this site are grifters
hoopsnek
What is your educational background in political philosophy? What have you read about politics?
ProcrastinatingWork
I've been using this site for years. It gives a good overview of political leanings. Never once grifted.
canigifinpaint
That's why it makes no sense. You could be a total right-wing fascist and still believe in government run healthcare. Policy matters.
canigifinpaint
Thanks for the block @OP
ProcrastinatingWork
Block? I didn't block anything...
ProcrastinatingWork
The test and analysis covers exactly those types of situations
canigifinpaint
It's not 'analyzing' anything. It's one of the most basic programs running off of very simple metrics. Each question is "10 pts to Lib-left"
filben7
This test isheavily biased towards libertarian/left. That said, Biden is pretty far authoritarian right, and trump is in the crazy right.
ProcrastinatingWork
Test seemed fair to me. I really had to try equally hard to hit any of the corners
filben7
The questions are worded to elicit a lib/left bias.
DarkBlueB
It might be your own bias showing here...
filben7
Im very far lib/left. Please try again.
hoopsnek
I find them to be balanced. Is being right wing a part of your identity?
filben7
Im very far lib/left. Please try again.
hoopsnek
Very far left for America or actually very far left?
ButtBot9900
Or maybe America is just far right and you don't notice it.
filben7
Im very far lib/left. Please try again.

Bidens current campaigning policies and his record as a senator are two very different things.
Chryos
Policy positions are also often intentionally extreme to serve as the basis for negotiation.
filben7
The dems LOVE negotiating any small bits of progress to the republicans and then getting stonewalled in return.
