I said "haha" so you know I am not being serious, just to be clear. But kind of.

Re: Election 2016
It just dawned on me (it's early, forgive me) how that comment could easily be read in a very condescending way, as if to portray myself as an adult in stark contrast to the 'infantile' left. Sorry, that wasn't my intention at all. It was meant as something of a self-deprecating reflection on how my younger self would be astonished and confused by how I ended up on the (moderate, centrist) right after growing up in a broadly centre-left atheist household and so on, not a rag on the legitimacy of anyone else's views.theplatypus wrote:Haha, you are condescending human garbage.

You know, on reflection (and because I'm back home and still have the tabs open), it's curious how they work this out seeing I said I supported strict gun control, single payer health care, same sex marriage, pro-choice on abortion, etc.Birds in Hell wrote:Birds in Hell wrote:I got Jeb (82%), followed closely by Rubio (78%).theplatypus wrote:Haha, you are human garbage.
There's no doubt I'm relatively conservative in most respects but US politics is strange and bewildering.

I ended up getting Bernie, but I question the validity of this thing b/c it also said I agree with Rick Perry on Health Care, and I chose "yes" to supporting Obama Care. Perry has said he would repeal it, so not sure how they figure I side with him on that one.

Re: Election 2016
I disagree with the results. Is this thing accurate?
This question is usually asked by users who answer few questions (less than 15), only choose yes/no answers, and do not weight the importance of each issue. To improve the accuracy of your results, be sure to answer all questions, select the stance that most accurately reflects your beliefs by clicking "choose another stance", and weight the importance of each issue by clicking the "importance" bar to the left of each question.
How does the candidate match algorithm work?
Your answers are matched to each candidate's answers based on a variable percentage scale. These variables include passion factors (How often does the candidate talk about the issue, is it a top priority in their platform, how similar is the "similar" stance to their official stance) and confidence factors (How long has the candidate held this stance, have they changed this stance in the past, does their voting record and history affirm this stance). For example, on the question "Do you support the legalization of Marijuana?" Rand Paul has been an outspoken critic of the war on drugs and has said pot users should not be put in jail. Rick Perry has said that each state should be able to decide whether to legalize marijuana. Paul has a very high match to the "Yes" answer while Perry has a very low match to the "Yes" answer.

Well, it seems accurate, but it doesn't exactly tell me who I should vote for.
