Turns out I'm pretty much to the left of just about everybody - I side 90% with Jill Stern of the Green Party.
Wouldn't vote for her, but I do side with her on the issues.

Interesting quiz with lots of options.

and apparently with 79% of American voters on most issues, which means that most Americans are pretty damn liberal on individual issues. What happens to them when they go to vote???
Fun quiz, btw! Thanks!

(111,437 posts)Since they're not, I'll take Barack Obama at 87%. I can cope, nothing in life is ever perfect.

(13,390 posts)If they are talking about 79% of the people who took the quiz, a lot of conservatives are left out of the mix.

(10,021 posts)2nd at 87%. Didn't surprise me that I was 7% for Rmoney & 7% for Republican. Can't imagine where I messed up so that even got to 7%. Good quiz tho & easy to understand.

What was that Michelle Obama said about never having felt more proud of being an American?

GoneOffShore
(17,345 posts)I got 28% with Ron Paul but on no major issues.
My results were Jill Stein, Barack Obama, Stewart Alexander (who the f is he?).

(3,059 posts)I also ended up with Jill Stern with 92% (which didn't really surprise me), 89% Obama. What DID surprise me is that I had something like a 16% agreement with the repugs. What the hell am I doing wrong??? Which 16% of me is bat-shit crazy??

(17,345 posts)I think that the questionnaire is fairly nuanced to tease out balanced responses.

75% with US voters and 74% with PA voters. I'm surprised that PA is that liberal. They listed it in the Gary Johnson column!

brewens
(13,657 posts)12% with Robme. No major issues. But it gets me 74% Idaho voters on science, foreign policy and domestic policy. 90% Stein and 84 % Obama.
That tells me that Robme has way to much support from voters that don't agree all that much with him. They just hate Obama more than anything.

(37,648 posts)Of course, those are only the ones answering that quiz.
MrSlayer
(22,143 posts)Ron Paul 54%
Romney 3%
Who the hell are these people I like so much?
TheKentuckian
(25,035 posts)a strange 24% Romney but with no major issues which makes me wonder if "something different" or whatever it was may glitch it some.
71% with the American people, so not as fringe as some like to make out. I'll stick with the representation being dicey at the very best.

(12,835 posts)Hey, turns out I side with President Obama mainly, but Jill Stein wasn't too far behind. Now I have to go find out: who is Jill Stein?

chalky
(3,297 posts)and sided with 85% (?!) of the Texas voters.
Oh, yeah. And I'm 11% Republican. But a little Compound W should clear that right up.
(Although I love how I don't agree with Mittens on any major issues.)
Now for the real fun - sending it to my...ahem...less than liberal aquaintances, and watching their heads explode when they realize they're on Obama's side.
