Full results for reference and further dunking, there's so much bullshit in their assessment of pretty much all of the candidates, ie Trump as only a "moderate" traditionalist, or (not pictured) Biden as significantly more multiculturalist than a literal socialist. Fuck all these quiz sites.
"Collectivism vs Individualism" "Big Government vs Small Govermnent"
Absolutely brain-dead criteria
Look at their definitions: "address social inequality, corruption, and assistance for it's citizens" Surveillance state? Military industrial complex? never heard of them
The number one quality for Biden voters according to this site is "sense of humor". Is electing Biden just a bit?
I totally missed that. Apparently they think his bit about children rubbing his leg hair and loving them jumping on his lap is "humor". Holy shit get me as far away from these loons as possible
Genetically, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are just as similar as a human and a chimpanzee
big governament vs small government i hate the american politics view it just means NOTHING also the quiz kinda owned you by saying that you are less collectivist than biden
LMAO putting most Republicans as anti-big government is just so funny. They want a huge police state, a huge military and the government controlling women's bodies. Some are even against the freedom of religion and against the freedom of speech by forcing signing loyalty oaths to Israel.
What is that colour scheme. No, a blue circle around a blue face on a blue ish background isnt a good look.
Anyway, I just did the quiz, and it still gave me 87% agreement with Joe Biden :thinkin-lenin:
According to this sites ratings, Biden is:
-
EXTREME GLOBALIST
-
EXTREMELY Pro Big-Government (all "blue" candidates are in the extreme category here)
-
EXTREMELY left wing
-
EXTREMELY politically correct (??)
-
EXTREMELY pro-multiculturalism (What, does he like the racial jungle now?)
-
EXTREMELY collectivist
And why did they put the libertarian axis on top in their ideology chart? My first thought was to mislead people who dont look at the labeling, to not directly call them "authoritarian"

I love how cucked America is, the only option beyond moderate is "extreme", what a load of shit.
Also, anyone who says unironically "big/small government" should be directly handed a ticket for Siberia, or forbidden to vote until they read some fucking political theory. These guys infuriate me, they obviously have not a single idea of what they're talking about, and yet, have the ability to cast a vote as potent as yours.
Would u mind giving me a quick explanation of why the dichotomy is so flawed? Like I know it is I just have a hard time explaining stuff in arguments with people
I have NEVER heard this shit outside of America for a very simple reason. In the US, there's that distinction between federal government, and the states. And naturally, having the federal government take more responsibilities means less state influence in matters. Which means for the brainlets that the left wants to take their guns, their house, their cash and their penis. Why ? Because for "conservatives", the states' rights must not be infringed because of tyranny and so on. Yet, for some reason, you always hear this fucking stupidity coming from them when the Federal government tries to create a better healthcare system, and not when there are federal agents gassing protesters. Worst, "small government" proponents wish to destroy federal legislation in all matters, pretending it is best left to states themselves. At best, they're complete dumbfucks who buy into the propaganda that less federal influence/state programs means more freedom, more better, more gooder. At worst, they're complete hypocrites who deliberately wish to weaken the state's ability to intervene to better the lives of the poor, or to protect the environment; so that private/corporate interests may benefit from this.
So yes. Big government intentionally bears negative connotations for the average joe, thanks to the completely unbiased media, who definitely aren't paid to spread bourgeois propaganda. If you dare say that you're for government programs, they'll accuse you of being totalitarian, wanting big brother to take over to turn the USA into a communist country.
TIL that it is extremely collectivist to flat out deny the possibility of medicare for all
I took this quiz earlier in the year and it had my affinity with Howie nearly equal to Cuomo. Fuck this website. The sad part is, I voted for Stein in 2016 partially because of it (which I don't regret).
I haven't taken that since my libertarian phase, and idk where on the left it would put me now just because so many of the questions are extremely loaded and tainted with neolib presumptions, much like the iSideWith quiz. It's not a good indicator of your true beliefs, in my experience.
In freshman year of high school, our government teacher had us take a political test, and it told me I was most similar to Colin Powell.
This was before I had any actual political thoughts, but it was a 1D left/right political test so it's not like the author had any either.
They dont say Biden has the most progressive platform ever for no reason, c'mon man
