Topic	I'm going to post some weird political spectrum charts here

Do you have any links to studies that have actually taken large groups of people's political views and done some form of factor analysis to uncover the actual political spectrum? Why would people's current views matter in creating the political spectrum? The ideas still exist and are part of the spectrum - it doesn't matter if 1 person believes it or 1 million. It matters because understanding where people actually stand in relation to you is like the entire point of these things. It seems to me that the biggest issue with politics we have these days is people staunchly labeling themselves and distancing themselves from other groups that are actually quite identical in terms of political views. I mean, this is probably the entire reason why Trump won the election, because the Democratic left managed to split their party even further along pragmatically arbitrary lines "democrat vs leftist". --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] <cite>COVxy posted [p:886020143] in I'm going ...
