Republicans and Diet Republicans. Those are your choices.

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

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

Very top right corner.

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?

He came in after the chart was published.

About twenty seconds to Mars.

Far top right

Williamson it is.

I'd say, "whatever your heart tells you", but I think its too risky this time. Vote the lesser evil please.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Sounds about right.

6 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 4

Apparently it's just me and Williamson? .

Been awhile since I took this quiz, so I thought I'd try again. Huh. How about that.

6 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Not bad! It really takes some careful thought and consideration to hit that far bottom left corner.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

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.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

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.

6 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 10

He's where the middle should be. IMO

6 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 4

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.

6 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 1

Biden that far right ?!

6 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 1

Sadly, that is the current state of things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden#Political_positions

6 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 2

He authored the Patriot act and the crime bill. He is a hard right authoritarian.

6 years ago | Likes 28 Dislikes 3

Yes. If you transplanted Biden to the 70s, he'd be a middle-of-the-road Republican.

6 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 0

Yes. There really are no far left political candidates in the US.

6 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

I keep having to explain to right wing people that they will win no matter who wins this election.

6 years ago | Likes 27 Dislikes 9

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

6 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 3

What is your educational background in political philosophy? What have you read about politics?

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I've been using this site for years. It gives a good overview of political leanings. Never once grifted.

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

That's why it makes no sense. You could be a total right-wing fascist and still believe in government run healthcare. Policy matters.

Thanks for the block @OP

Block? I didn't block anything...

The test and analysis covers exactly those types of situations

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

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"

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

This test isheavily biased towards libertarian/left. That said, Biden is pretty far authoritarian right, and trump is in the crazy right.

6 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

Test seemed fair to me. I really had to try equally hard to hit any of the corners

6 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

The questions are worded to elicit a lib/left bias.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 3

It might be your own bias showing here...

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

Im very far lib/left. Please try again.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I find them to be balanced. Is being right wing a part of your identity?

6 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 2

Im very far lib/left. Please try again.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Very far left for America or actually very far left?

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Or maybe America is just far right and you don't notice it.

I took the test and used all of Biden's policies, and this is what I got. This test is 100% bullshit.

6 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 10

Bidens current campaigning policies and his record as a senator are two very different things.

6 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 2

Policy positions are also often intentionally extreme to serve as the basis for negotiation.

6 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

The dems LOVE negotiating any small bits of progress to the republicans and then getting stonewalled in return.
