Where are you in the political spectrum?

[dan-cat]

You should be comparing populace and not physical size, the figures then look even worse for the US

for a country that likes to drive coke cans around you sure do get through alot of barrels don't ya?

 

[jsanders]

How can the president make you right or left?
Either your beliefs and morals put you there, or you are more like Bill Cinton and check the way the wind is blowing to see where you stand (wishy washy). You may not like who.what they are doing, but that doesn't change where you personally stand on issues (typically), OK, unless maybe you are a liberal

Because the country needs balance.
With the Nazis and Fascists running everything; we more of the citizenry apposing them.

I must agree with those who think the test, like most of these type of tests, is flawed.

I'd say we don't have enough information to make a determination. It's not so much about what kinds of questions are asked or how, but how the answers impact your score. Certainly the more thorough and detailed the questions, the more accurate the test will be. However, it is quite possible that a limited set of questions with limited possible answers can give you results with a fair degree of accuracy based on correlation instead of precise matching.

Thanks...needed a laugh this afternoon!

 

[KenHigg]

Economic Left/Right: -4.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.15

So Greg, what does that mean in plain english?

 

[Kraj]

Real simple, like? It means you tend to agree with the Democrats on economic issues (such as taxes, government-regulated business, etc.) about 2/3 of the time and you agree with both the Dems and Reps about social issues (such as abortion, civil rights, welfare, etc.) about an equal amount of the time but you tend to agree with the Dems just a little bit more often.

(It's not quite a simple as all that, but that's the best I could distill it.)

Let me spell it out for you in simple terms KEN, your a dang liberal!
Might as well vote for Hillary.

I might, she at least will be thinking the the midle class for a change. anything to knock down the Republicans.

 

[Kraj]

I probably would as well. I find it fascinating that - once again - the U.S. considers itself among the most socially advanced nations in the world, and yet we've never had a female head of state but 47 other countries have; a list that spans the spectrum of economics and cultures. Hell, we've only had three non-male-WASP presidents (only one if you don't count Quakers ).

You two floor me. Doesn't matter what else they stand for, as long as 1- no republican gets in, 2 - we have never had a female.
Yea, there is some thing to base your votes on.

Actually... I've got nothing against voting for a Republican in general. However, I'm so disgusted with the Republican party as of late I would actually vote for just about anyone else. And considering how many Americans out there wouldn't vote for someone just because she's a woman, I don't think it's so outrageous to do the opposite.

Futhermore, neither one of us said it doesn't matter what else they stand for. We didn't say, "I really don't like Hilary but I'd vote for her anyway because..."

Finally, considering politicians - especially presidential candidates - have a long history of lying about or not following through with what they supposedly stand for, the vast majority of people tend to base their votes on anything but "what they stand for". I don't blame them.

I'm at -5 and -3. Has anyone noticed that most of us are somewhere in this quadrant?
