Probably one of the most extensive "positioning" games I've filled out - I do like that it provides many questions for more accurate results, though I'm not sure how much weight they put on preference.

Democrats: 84%
Green Party: 82%
Socialist: 74%
Libertarians: 54%
Republicans: 5%

I do like how it shows that for most people, there is a bit of overlap between different political parties.

I'm not sure why the socialist and green party numbers are so "high."


Most likely you answered that you believe in the theory of evolution and climate change, basically instances in which the Republican position is anti-factual.

Is there anybody who has scored high with democrats but low with either socialists or greens? If not, this test has a really low capacity to distinguish between different (left-wing) ideologies.

Because the questions are not broad enough. I consider myself an anarchist, but there are no question at all that could refer to this ideology, only question on actual policies.

I really hope this thread gets remade with a good OP :
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=437998

Definitely work a read (the link : http://www.change.org/petitions/a-stand-for-democracy-in-the-digital-age-3)

We really shouldn't accept in any shape or form that we are constantly being monitored. There is no good reason. Be it government for "safety", commercial for "knowing your client" or any other reason. Certain THINGS should be monitored (illegal content) but not communications as a whole.

I know some people will say this post is beating a dead horse, but it really shouldn't be. The horse should only be dead when we have absolute certainty that we have some form of privacy in our online life and communications. What people choose to willingly put out to the public is one thing, but otherwise you should expect privacy in your life.

This test seems to suffer from the same bullshit most Americans suffer from when talking about political ideology. At least we have evolved from the idiotic Big Government vs Small Government spectrum.
EDIT - I take it back. The mapping is complete horseshit.

Also, I got 1% for Republicans Time to hit the bar and come to terms with myself that I have a little TEA Party in me. XD

I know that Wikipedia is one of the worse places to learn about politics in general, but this is a good way to figure out where you stand. Have fun

President Barack Obama on Tuesday shook hands with Cuban President Raul Castro before taking the podium at a memorial service for former South African President Nelson Mandela.

The gesture between the two leaders of Cold War enemy nations came as Obama greeted a line of world leaders attending the memorial in Johannesburg, according to the Associated Press.

This is going to become a bigger shitstorm than the incident with Obama bowing down to the Saudi King.

Heaven forbid you shake a guys hand at a funeral. If this raises it a fuss it only shows how pathetic some people are.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

At least you didn't get this:

The Economy
I side with Republicans on most economic issues.

... no idea how that happened. ._.

Socialist 75%
Green Party 74%
Democrats 65%
Libertarians 39%
Republicans 13%

That was a fun quiz to take:

Green Party 84%
Democrats 77%
Socialist 69%
Libertarians 43%
Republicans 7%

I'm kind of disappointed I'm not more libertarian, in retrospect I discovered how easy it was to give an answer on what I feel should be done if I had the power, when technically I think the correct stance for someone who respects other people's rights and freedoms is to let them decide.

Except in certain crucial issues...the most surprising part about libertarians was about the debt ceiling. I read about their opinions and found this:

Should Congress raise the debt ceiling?
Libertarians: No, cut spending
You: Yes

That's just an unrealistic answer, come on libertarians!

Just like the shitstorm that happened when Bush II kissed King Abdullah on the lips, on multiple occasions, on camera.

I'm still not getting over the evolution and global warming answers of the GOP. Are these the official positions of the GOP? It's unbelievable to me that in a two party system one party is just like "nah we'll just disagree on things that are basically scientific consensus, lets just teach intelligent design in schools".
