Take the quiz here: https://www.isidewith.com/political-quiz

I'm a bit surprised with my results..

97%- Booty, Kamala
96%- Beto, Tulsi, Warren
95%- Bernie
92%- Biden
91%- Yang

26% - Trump

I thought I'd be more of a Bernie guy.

How are your results?

Already decided on Buttigieg for primary but here goes:

89% Gary Johnson
79% Andrew Yang (who?)
78% John Delaney (who?)
Rest of Dem field 60-70 something
Trump and Kadich 56% each bringing up the rear.

Questions seemed much less suitable for straight yes/no answers this time, such as the ones about immigration and economy.

I think I broke it. How these are even next to each other I don't know.

Mine is odd, since it's not necessarily who I'd vote for:

96% - Booker, Klobuchar
95% - Buttigieg, Gillibrand, Harris
94% - Gabbard, O'Rourke, Warren
93% - Castro
92% - Sanders
91% - Biden

I'd probably vote for Biden simply because he's experienced, forceful in debates and the kind of moderate that's harder for the right to shriek about (not that it hasn't tried). I suspect I'd have had Biden if I'd valued "electability," but I don't think of that in quite the cynical way that some do.

Warren is my favorite of the bunch. I really hope she gets the nomination.

Also an early decider for Buttigieg, but the debates are still a thing.

93% Yang
92% Gabbard
91% O'Rourke, Sanders
90% Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Gillibrand

47% Trump

I'd say the questions assume old / status quo thinking. Absolutely no nuance for Basic Income eliminating several questions altogether. I had to answer yes to things I'd settle for today, but are much more "authoritarian" than I actually am. Abortion was a little harsher than I'd settle for. No answer for reducing, not banning, immigration. Etc...

It's much better suited for someone stuck in today's political mud, and framed by today's arguments.

Can't vote but was intrigued so I figured I'd give it a shot.

98% Harris/Warren.

12% Trump.

I came out Gabbard, O'Rourke, Butigieg. Dont know much about Gabbard or O"Rourke. Buttigieg certainly seems like one I could support.
Unfortunately, I dont think any democrat can actually accomplish much, except just getting rid of Trump. Congress, i.e. the Senate, will block every proposal that does not fit the Republican Agenda.

Klobuchar and Gillibrand top at 88%
Bootedge @ 84% (current primary vote)
Most Ds in 80s
Trump is 30%. GOP@28%

Strongest issue was environmentalism (clean energy), and then socialism (healthcare, education, spending on science)

Don't really care about immigration.

Who the hell is John Kasich? Apparently, he's my guy. With John Delaney as a close second.
Kasich is the republican governor of Ohio. He says all the right things for more moderate (i.e. not bat shit crazy) conservative voters who dont buy into the current Republican agenda, but I havent researched his record to see if he backs that up. Would be interesting to know what his take is on the recent Ohio restrictive abortion ban.

Fun. Can't complain with the results. Don't think Beto will be on my ballot, but Buttigieg is up there for sure.

Interesting test, how did everyone get 90%+ on their candidates? Seems like none of them fit me like you guys. :|

Funny enough, none of the parties fit me either. Democratic 59%, Peace and Freedom (wtf?) 59%, Socialist 59%, Green 55%, Republican 49%. On the ideology map, I leaned towards left wing authoritarian (legalized equality).

Biden to me just seems to be Hillary without the shrewdness/ideas and more inclined to go along with the mainstream, no big changes would happen during his term if elected.

I'll take a quick guess. If you align with the Democrats on the economy, you probably don't on social issues. Or vice versa.

Yeah, I agree (border strongly) Democratic/Socialist on economy, healthcare. Agree with Constitution party and neutral with GOP on foreign policy, strongly disagree with democrats though. Agree with P&F on Education, neutral/agree with democrats. Only thing I was in line with GOP on was immigration.

Is this what this forum becoming? Just another extension of facebook asking which Hogwarts House are you?

And Mayor Pete shouldn't be on that list at all, he hasn't released any of his plans whatsoever.

I also got Buttigieg and Harris tied with 97%--not sure if the poll is skewed or perhaps these 2 candidates have the most flexible views? Somehow got Cory Booker in 3rd with 96% but I didn't think I'd ever vote for him in primaries. Before taking the poll, I figured my front-runners were Warren and Biden, with Buttigieg a "dark horse" option.

Most surprising--Biden, whom I thought I would pick in the primary, was my lowest ranked Democrat in the current field in the poll (87%). Kasich got 71% for me.

Congratulations GOP, you've pulled me from the center to the left.
