    Quizzes like this are always hilarious because they have questions like:

    How much racism is acceptable?

    • a lot
    • some
    • a little bit

    Which of these statements best describes your opinion about the United States?
    The U.S. stands above all other countries in the world
    The U.S. is one of the greatest countries in the world, along with some others
    There are other countries that are better than the U.S.

    You're not allowed to believe the US isn't great, just that some other countries are greater. I'm not asking for a "Death to America" option (although...), but "The U.S. is a negative force in the world" or something would be good.

    In the future, do you think...
    U.S. policies should try to keep it so America is the only military superpower
    It would be acceptable if another country became as militarily powerful as the U.S.

    You also aren't allowed to believe the US should shrink its military or be surpassed by another, just matched. Actually it sounds like you might not even be allowed to believe the US military can be surpassed.

    What a complete joke of a survey.

      This comparison graph is horrible.

      The colors are hard to distinguish at a glace and the options are ordered positive, negative, neutral instead of positive, neutral, negative. The same goes for the rest of the questions that have positive, negative, neutral as their options. Just unreadable.

    LMAO they have marked Progressive Liberal as the furthest left. All of the questions are are basically "Are you Blue party or Red party" all based American current forced wedge issues.

    Purposely trying to ruin peoples political education, or just stupid? We may never know.

      It's just stupid, there's probably 1 person at pew research who could do a better job and they probably don't work in the "quiz making" department

    "Outsider Left"

    Puts it on the inside

    They're really stretching hard to pretend there's no one left of "progressive".

    It feels like they're mainly calling us out. We're definitely outside libs. The question that isn't answered is who are the indoor libsphoenix-think

      All libs should be kept indoors, outside libs wreak havoc on their local environments.

    Ok so if I say I hate democrats and the US is a shithole, I'm "outsider left". What the hell is the "progressive left" then? Liberal bootlickers?

      For all you libs getting "Outsider Left", you need to say "I usually feel like there is at least one candidate who shares most of my views" instead of "I usually feel like none of the candidates represent my views well" to get "Progressive Left" smuglord

      Read the description in the main poll. They consider allegiance to the Democratic Party as the only thing that makes you left wing, and allegiance to the Republican Party as the only thing that makes you right wing. The symbol loses all meaning, then becomes significant by itself, and the thing it originally represented is now distorted to fit the new significance of the symbol.

    Outside left lol

    How the fuck do you answer "How much of a problem is... People being too easily offended by things others say"

    It's clear they are going to interpret this as snowflake fascists being outraged at outrage by leftists or liberals about the heinous shit the fascists say.

    While there isn't enough outrage about the shit the mainstream says!

      What's really hilarious (and by hilarious i mean sad) is somehow only 23% of "progressive left" said people being too easily offended isn't a problem at all

        Yeah but probably they have correctly decoded the meaning of the reactionary language about "cancel culture". Like people being offended at people saying "all lives matter". That's not a problem is it?

          Oh I didnt even think about that tbh. I assumed it was like "oh wow you're so offended that i said theres 2 genders" type stuff
