 A new who do you support quiz, I am posting it here as the other elections thread seems to be abandoned. If you open additional questions, it seems much more accurate that the one from CNN in the other thread.

Apparently, I'm a Bernie man (89%) and would pick Jeb Bush among the Republicans (46%) and Trump 41%) over Ted Cruz (36%). Fiorina and Carson I have the least in common with.

Miy ideology is apparently left-wing in the US, and I am leaning towards socialism.

It seems to be some Sanders' digital marketing though, as it wants your e-mail when you finish, but it's sort of fun.

Just seen on Comedy Central that they are doing a roast of Donald Trump. Hope they fucking destroy him but doubt that will happen, probably a few jokes and loads of arse licking.

They did it in 2011. I don't recall it being any less brutal than all the others.

Not sure anyone has sent him for his shinebox as much as Obama did in his correspondents dinner speech a few years ago.

Apparently I am:

Left-Wing Authoritarian

Your political beliefs would be considered strongly Left-Wing and moderately Authoritarian on an ideological scale, meaning you tend to stand up and protect those who are oppressed or taken advantage of and believe the government should do the same.

There is no mystery to it, these quizzes tend to miss nuance.

 

For instance, you could say that you want to subsidise renewable energy, as I did, and another person could say they want to expand surveillance. To the quiz, they are both examples of government intervention, so either response would move you leftwards on the scale, even though they are clearly very different in form and intent.

 

That said, you don't have to be very left-wing to disagree with the majority of the Republican platform, do you.
