Yep

All of the alliances and systems that Trump is trying so hard to destroy disproportionately benefit the US (not by accident; we see the ones who spearheaded the western alliance after WW2). The only one who benefits from it being torn down is Putin.

Are you sure they're actually referencing DK64, or are they doing the minion voice when they say it?

I very much doubt they're referencing DK64. That's why I was surprised to see that the DK64 thing existed!

Minions make much more sense as an origin.

You can easily shift the average to the left on one of these through question selection. Like I mentioned before, having a bunch of questions like do you consider your race to be superior to others is designed to do this. You could also do the reverse and push people to the right by including stuff like people should not be allowed to own property.

^ What do you want it to say? There was a lot of controversy on whether Sanders voters would ever vote for Hillary. How election was rigged against him. And their refusal to vote maybe costing her the election if they bled away. And how Bernie was more of an Independent than a Democrat.

Many Bernie Sanders supporters chose not to vote and called him out for being a hypocrite when he supported Clinton.

Is there specific passages you are referring to?

The author of the page suggests that Sanders might be a "Judas" for endorsing Clinton instead of Jill Stein. They call Clinton "hawkish pin-up girl of Wall Street." They suggest that Trump would be better for progressives than Clinton:
Thinking progressives, however, might reflect on the uncomfortable truth that a President Trump would be relentlessly scrutinised, criticised and checked not only by the Democrats, but also by many in his own party. Conversely, a Democratic president, ultimately more different in style than substance, would implement a largely Republican agenda in all but name and get a relatively easy ride. Havent the last eight years of neo-conservatism and Democratic deference brought the country too close already to a one-party state masquerading as a two-party state?


This is a person making a (very poor) political argument. That is not something you would attach to a good-faith effort to score candidates.

No, the page where they claim to be giving candidate placements is just straight up biased as fuck. Like, read this paragraph:

Sanders now unequivocally supports the Democratic nominee, yet his positions are actually far closer to those of Jill Stein, leader of the Greens. The party that Bernie barely belongs to is apparently more important than the principles that hes passionately espoused for so long. In the twilight of his political career Sanders might have taken a bolder move than merely conforming to the expectations of ideologically arthritic liberals who will settle for a lesser-of-two-evils electoral exercise, as they have done for decades. Instead Sanders wants to rally his impressive legion of supporters behind a candidate representing the very things that theyve been consistently revolting against! Was he so terrified by the prospect of a Trump presidency that he dumped the chance to strike a real blow against the one percent by joining Stein and launching the most formidable third party challenge in decades? Or might he have been a Judas sheep all along? Clinton can now be expected to toss a few crumbs to the Sandernistas in an attempt to prevent them bolting to the Greens. Whatever she says about issues like the minimum wage, the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, fracking and Medicare between now and November is unlikely to be honoured in office. Even if she wanted to break the habit of a career and significantly swing towards the 99 percent, her donors like Walmart, McDonalds, Wall Street and so many others simply wouldnt permit it.

I don't think they scored the candidates right, though. According to this I am way to the left of Bernie, while listening to his propositions I always thought he was to the left of me. Meanwhile Obama and Hillary are basically republicans while there are plenty of differences between them and say, even someone like Jeb!

I do think its score of me is fairly accurate, but I question how they plopped in these candidates on the way they did.

Seems pretty clear that they have an agenda to convince most people that they're far to the left of both US political parties. The placements of the Democratic candidates are just straight up ridiculous.

The amazing part is that there are multiple questions that are like "are you a racist" which automatically push you left if you disagree, so to get to where they're claiming Clinton is you'd have to answer in the conservative direction on like all of the policy questions
