  • Political Compass of 2020 Candidates.

    I think the political compass site is run by Starlight.

    Look at this:

    According to them, the entire democrat party except for Sanders and 4 others are all right-wing authoritarians!

    Huh. Apparently I would be pretty close to who ever Williamson is.

      I like watching Bernie - he always looks like the caricature of an angry old man raging about something.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        The test is nonsense. Questions about astrology and one's npersonal definition of art have nothing to do with politics. It's written from the perspective of a European socialist convinced he is in the middle.

Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

          Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

              Yeah, I expect him to yell "Get off my lawn" at any moment.

                When I took the test, it showed me about where Warren is on the chart above. Almost in the center. And I am a pretty strong conservative. That test is just complete garbage.

                  Exactly. That's why I said it sounds like Starlight did the chart. To him everyone else is a right-winger authoritarian.

                      When I took the test some time ago, I was amused to discover that it ranked me as a slightly libertarian centrist.
                      Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                      But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                      Than a fool in the eyes of God

                        These two remind me of Bernie and Schumer:

                          I found my old Political Compass result that I took back in 2017 and it put me close to Sanders!

                              I just retook it and now I am:

                              compass-2019.jpg

                              Some of the questions are so off the wall that I just don't know how to even answer:

                              If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

                              Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment.

                              People are ultimately divided more by class than by nationality.

                              A genuine free market requires restrictions on the ability of predator multinationals to create monopolies.
