i know we just had a similar thread but this one is different because its candidate based.

8/19/2012 7:34:08 PM

Jill Stein 91%
Barack Obama 88%
Gary Johnson 76%
Ron Paul 30%
Mitt Romney 15%

8/19/2012 7:54:46 PM

Obama, Stein, and Johnson all near the top. Ron Paul a distant fourth, but ahead of the rest of the pack.

I was wondering how I could get a Libertarian and a Green with similar ratings, but I think maybe it's because I've accepted that neither of the biggest parties are true economic conservatives in practice, so my focus tends more towards which ones have the least social conservatism baggage.

8/19/2012 8:20:04 PM

Jill Stein 88%
Barack Obama 83%
Stewart Alexander 74%
Gary Johnson 66%
Ron Paul 55%
Jimmy McMillian 39%
Mitt Romney 19%
Virgil Goode 10%

Hmmm... it is interesting to note if you change the weight of how important it is to you that it greatly changes the %. Did it twice and changing the weights of how important issues got me more equal Dem and Libertarian and lower GOP.

I left all of them essentially "somewhat" at first.

The image appears wrong, this what the results said:
79%
Libertarian

69%
Democratic

63%
Republican

60%
Green

Gary Johnson rules. If Mitt had taken him as VP I might have actually voted for him on the off chance that he croaks and we get a good President for a change. He'd be like the anti-Palin.

8/20/2012 8:56:11 AM

Here's a question. Isn't this quiz inherently biased against the mainstream candidates?

You know, since they are prone to waffle on various issues, which gives them a low "confidence" factor?

8/20/2012 10:06:19 AM

Maybe it's a bias that should exist.

It's just an online quiz. I doubt anyone will vote for Jill Stein.

8/20/2012 10:09:00 AM

^Certainly. I was just wondering why they kept coming out on bottom.

8/20/2012 10:13:01 AM

I know that the results might be biased and the testing procedure isn't exactly scientific, but I found this to be surprising.

Despite having significant disagreements with Gary Johnson on foreign policy.

8/20/2012 12:05:33 PM

Yeah, I bet the weighting for agreeing more or less is screwy.

I wish we just gave this quiz on election day and let the computers decide the government.

8/20/2012 11:26:45 PM

These things are garbage. It's easy to have idealistic views when you are never in a position that holds any responsibility to the electorate.

8/21/2012 12:01:47 AM

Diverged primarily by being moderately interventionist and more tolerant of gov't support of scientific research than Gary Johnson.

I'm like somewhere between Gary Johnson and Barry Goldwater.

Your opinion is worthless because you were never in a position that holds any responsibility to the electorate.

8/21/2012 12:38:33 AM

hahahhaahhahahah we're all really for Jill Stein. I love her too but DO NOT VOTE FOR HER. vote for Obama instead.

We don't have a coalition style government, it's winner takes all. Therefore you can't just vote for the one you like most unless you want to divide your team and lose.

8/21/2012 6:10:39 AM

Why do we have to be the ones who submit to the establishment? Why not just vote for jill stein until the obama supporters get tired of losing and vote with us?

8/21/2012 8:04:17 PM

look up duverger's law plz

8/21/2012 8:09:03 PM

I side with Jill Stein on science, domestic policy, social, and environmental issues. I side with her 65% and Obama 43%.

Really does not surprise me. Vote Jill Stein or Gary Johnson 2012. FUCK the ESTABLISHMENT.

[Edited on August 21, 2012 at 8:13 PM. Reason : GOP & DEMS... they like you because you are their sheeple]

8/21/2012 8:10:31 PM

i totally think you should all vote for jill stein.

in fact, tell your friends too.

8/21/2012 9:33:47 PM

Oh lawd...Haha. I wonder if they pulled their responses from the party platforms or from the candidates themselves, because from everything I have read and heard, I am a Gary Johnson fan. Even hearing the man talk and reading his website makes me wish that he could get more attention.

8/21/2012 9:45:10 PM

Jill Stein on foreign policy, science, healthcare, environmental, and immigration issues.

8/21/2012 9:54:15 PM

Mitt Romney aint winning shit

8/21/2012 10:11:34 PM

You've got it backwards. The reason we don't have a coalition style government is because we only ever elect two parties. Its because of this line of thinking that the two (one) party system persists and we elect people who we end up hating. Until the middle of the last century, independents and third parties were quite common and representatives were far more likely to vote according to their personal beliefs/campaign promises. Now we have two parties that are almost exactly the same, yet have the least cooperation and productivity compared to any past congress.

That said, this is a surprise to me:

wow. some of you really are about to fall off the left side. jill stein? really?

8/23/2012 7:52:02 AM

Jill Stein isn't even extreme left. She is mid left. Obama is on the right slightly.

8/23/2012 11:10:12 AM

I hadn't even heard of Jill Stein before I took this stupid quiz and I still won't be voting for her. The sky isn't falling wdprice.

8/23/2012 11:13:14 AM

^^According to little quizzes like this, she is extreme left.

Never said the sky was falling.

[Edited on August 23, 2012 at 11:18 AM. Reason : .]

8/23/2012 11:17:19 AM

Nobody has 100% match with her. She is the leader because everyone else is pretty far to the right. If you are the least bit left, your match is Jill Stein.

8/23/2012 11:26:14 AM

^^^really? lol

You really are just the gift that keeps on giving, disco_stu.

lol no, it's just that by the standard of the developed world, he is right of center, as are many of his fellow mainline Dems and all the Blue Dogs and Rethugnicans, while the Left (with a capital L) is not well represented thanks to a long and successful campaign by the right-wing think tanks propaganda machine to give "liberalism" a bad name
