    I took this back when there were a lot more candidates. My results were pretty similar, but with Sanders up there with Clinton and Stein. The next tier was Kasich, Paul, and Johnson. Then Trump, then most of the others bellow him. Oh wait, forgot about O'Malley -- he actually ranked highest.

    The quiz is BS. Many of the answers I gave would have your typical liberal fascist seething with rage.

    A bit surprised that Trump edged out Johnson, but otherwise about what I expected.

    The only thing surprising about mine is that Hillary and Trump are so high.

    I thought for a moment that our old friend had somehow put himself in the poll, but his name is Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party.

    I get 99% Jill Stein and 98% Hilary Clinton.
    I'm very suspicious of that result and of these tests in general - even moreso now that I've received a popup asking me to "Sign your name to voice your opinion in support of Hillary's proposal to ensure every American has access to affordable healthcare."

    It's too bad they don't factor into the questions how embarrassing and distasteful a person Trump is. Then again there's a part of me that wants it to happen just to see how fucking crazy things can get.

    Gary Johnson I've never even heard speak and I don't even know what a Darrell Castle is. :lol:

    I know little about Jill Stein. Just what I read after her name was dropped in another thread. Anti-vaxxers (is that a term?) and proponents of homeopathy are dumb (if not bat-shit crazy). I'm not sure this asked enough questions, but it's interesting.

    It would be more fun if they included zombie presidents.

    Johnson and Weld had a good CNN town hall last night. I didn't see the first one a few weeks ago, but I read several accounts indicating that Johnson didn't do very well.

    I watched last night and they both came across as rational, sane adults, which was refreshing after the last two weeks of political conventions.

    Of course these tests are ridiculous. However, they are a lot of fun. Wordforge should make a a new test concerning general political views. I remember the days when this forum was ruled by tighty righties and everybody who was slightly leaning to the left was ridiculed as a pussy and negrepped into oblivion. Today it's the opposite. Even reasonable righties like Paladin are considered protofascists! :lol:

    While it has Jill Stein at the top, she's completely out because of her stance on GMOs and Vaccines. I'm in favor of both, which means Hillary is the one I side with the most in that regard. The rest looks good to me.

    Stein is the Green Party candidate.
    There is a lot of disinformation floating around about her. You may not have a complete idea of what she represents.

    She represents greed, corruption, rape, war for profit, and unaccountability.

    I think she is a clever, more or less rational person and a career politician with moderate views. I think it is pointless that she desperately tries to make the impression of a warm, loving character. Hell, she is cold as ice! :lol: But who cares except dumb voters? I'd rather have a beer with Bush jr. than Hillary. W seems to be a nice fellow. Hillary seems not, to say the least. Her attempts to appear as a homo sapiens are ridiculous. She's a reptilian, and that's ok! I'd still choose her over Trump every time, even if her personality might be toxic.

    Glad to see I got a sane result on Trump. What the hell are you other people doing wrong there?

    How did you get 94% with Hillary unless you support legal immunity for serial rapists? :shrug:

    Stein 98%
    Clinton 96%
    Johnson 70%
    Trump 25%
    Castle 11%

    If you want to see exactly how this quiz falls apart, then click on the "Compare answers" under each candidate's name. Under Castle, for example, it says that I "disagree" with him, because I'm for the legalization of weed, while he's for the decriminalization of weed. I'd be more than happy for weed to be decriminalized if my only options were keeping laws the same as they are now, or decriminalization, so that really shouldn't be considered a strike against Castle. Under Trump, it says we both support raising the minimum wage, yet I know that Trump has argued against that in some of his speeches.
    If you're barely familiar with the candidates, the quiz will give you enough information to say who you might be closely aligned with, but if you actually know anything at all about the candidates, then you're better off going with what you know, rather than relying on it.
