Not American, my highest was 82% for Bernie Sanders. Don't know much about him but he's not a Trump or a Bush so I'm fine with that.
 
Sanders!

Strangely it thinks I prefer the Libertarians over Republicans by a bit, which is far from the truth. As an overgeneralized party rule-of-thumb, I think libertarians are generally more delusional and less in touch with reality than Republicans, and have voted Republican on a number of occasions.

I figured as much.
 
Bernie, 91%
Hillary, 84%

Also I'm a Green Party guy?
Hmm. I might as well look into that.
Oh, and I'm a Left-Wing Authoritarian, which sounds a bit spooky-scary and I don't get it.
Sadly, since Utah is 100% Republican, my vote won't do shit. lol
 
97% Marco Rubio
95% Scott Walker
90% Rand Paul
86% Jeb Bush
83% Lindsey Graham
75% Ben Carson
72% Chris Christie
59% Carly Fiorina
52% Hillary Clinton
22% Bernie Sanders

First two and last two seem about right for me.

I don't trust these Buzzfeed quizzes. Sometimes they're just totally off.

1. 85% Hilary Clinton
2. 81% Bernie Sanders
3. 71% Martin O' Malley
4. 62% Jeb Bush
 
Even the ones that it has me not siding with Bernie, I still generally agree with him. Some of them I don't really get why it says we disagree, for example:

Should the U.S. expand offshore oil drilling?
Bernie Sanders: No
You: Incentivize the private sector to develop alternative forms of energy
 
Oh, and I'm a Left-Wing Authoritarian, which sounds a bit spooky-scary and I don't get it.

Your political beliefs would be considered strongly Left-Wing Authoritarian on an ideological scale, meaning you tend to stand up and protect those who are oppressed or taken advantage of and believe the government should do the same.

If you look at the chart they provided, down and to the left (authoritarian) is really the only place to go unless you want libertarian craziness or republican morality.

I got the same thing.

The Authoritarianism just means that you believe it's against the law for person A to deny a freedom/right/liberty, a freedom/right/liberty Person A has, to person B because person B is different in some way.
 
Agree with Bernie apparently.
Struggled to pick an answer for a lot of the questions though, given that some of the options weren't mutually exclusive.

Ah, right on then~

I'm all about that jam, so that's perfect.
Learned quite a bit of stuff today. lol
 
Even the ones that it has me not siding with Bernie, I still generally agree with him. Some of them I don't really get why it says we disagree, for example:

Because incentivizing the development alternative energy of still allows expansion of off-shore drilling as a bridge between now and such a time when alternative energy sources are present - in other words, your is a "Yes, but..." and his is a "No."
 
92% Sanders. In reality it's probably a bit less than that though, since it said I agree with him on abortion and education, when in regards to the former I'm provisionally against late-term and concerning the latter extremely against standardized testing.
 
The polls section is pretty fascinating. Apparently people dislike the NSA domestic surveillance programs yet the Patriot act is roughly 50/50. Obamacare also losing.
 
Bernie won for me at 87 but no one was below 20. Green and Democrats tied party-wise at 89.

I'm a little surprised given how I answered on a number of the "morality" questions but I'm also super chill on immigration and high on environmentalism so I guess that tipped things the other way pretty hard.

I see my answer is more of a "No, and..." but that wasn't really an option, unless I just with the less specific answer of "No."

For what it's worth I do support nuclear as a bridge as opposed to fossil fuels (mostly, get out of oil ASAP), and I know Bernie is against both nuclear and fossil fuels, so I guess we sort of disagree despite the priority being the same end result.
 
Wow I didn't know I sided with Bernie so much. I agree 97% and most importantly taxing corporations/rich and immigration issues.

I'm glad this was posted. I might have voted for Hillary instead.
 
You don't have to settle for anything. Actively support Bernie's campaign (throw him $5, talk to your friends/family about him, criticize naysayers) like millions of us are doing. He absolutely can win both the primary and general election but not without the support of those who agree with him.

Also you just got me to donate $5. Now to actually stop being part of the problem and register to vote for this along with every election at all the other levels.
 
Should Wall Street executives be criminally charged for their roles in the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis?
You, Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders: Yes, these executives committed fraud and should be fined and jailed for their roles in creating the largest financial crisis since the great depression
Martin O'Malley and Rick Santorum's similar answer: Yes
Wait...what?
 
Wait...what?

I was kind of surprised at the number of things it had me agreeing with Huckabee on. Not a majority by any means, but definitely more than I expected. Like 30%, I think he was the highest other than the democrat candidates.

Honestly, Bernie's biggest hurdle is the negativity and pessimism from people who "support" and agree with him. It's early, as his name recognition is increasing so are his poll numbers, but a ton of people are saying "I like him and want him to win... but he doesn't have a chance so I'm not donating/backing Hillary/not voting/etc."

I nice to see some people out there still have optimism that the people who should win can win, but I just don't see it in this case. Even if everyone like me who liked him voted for him I still predict he would win the nomination and lose to Jeb in the general election. Though since I live in one of the reddest states in the Union my vote won't matter either way. Though I still do plan to vote for the first time in my life for whatever Democrat ends up on the ballot.
 
The pessimism regarding third party candidates is well grounded in our current voting system and game theory.

Yeah, I'd really like to see the system changed, but until it does anyone outside the big two parties is never getting anywhere.

Didn't stop me from voting for Jill Stein last time, but Democrats are never* going to take my state (Alabama) in the current political climate anyway.

Yeah, this mentality is really starting to anger me. It'd be one thing if it were in the middle of the primary or something, but we've barely fucking started. Can we seriously just not have this sort of attitude until we at least get one fucking debate in?

I mean, I don't believe those are Ted Cruz and Rick Santorum's positions.
