Almost nobody agrees that college should be free. :p

The option I wanted wasn't available :d 

 

I don't think it should be free for the very wealthy, but I do think it should be free (or at the very least affordable) for people coming from low incomes.

Below are 20 questions we found particularly interesting, mostly because they reveal big differences between the remaining major candidates.

 

On almost all the major questions, there is not much difference in the candidates. I think for a couple of questions, it is literally all the candidates agreeing to the same stand. 

 

Gabbard and Klobuchar are artificially low in this because their views are not known about 4 and 5 questions respectively.

 

Among the rest, there are 2 groups: Group of Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg and Steyer while rest all seem to be the centrists.

Not that surprised at the result. 

 

It's interesting to see that the majority of the candidates thinks prisoners should only be able to vote after their release.

My top 5 (6).

Not a big fan of that quiz. They don't seem to have done much to fill in the gaps meaning that several candidates end up lower than they should and several questions aren't that great either.

 

Not surprisingly Sanders and Warren are very low (though above Gabbard)

Really? Buttigieg and Steyer are way above Sanders and Warren in my test ;)

This banding was not done on any proper analysis but on the basis of the results posted here and 3-4 iterations that I did with some randomness to get a feel about the test. So, of course it has a mistake. Even I was not very keen on putting both of them with the extremes but somehow they always ended up with them in my iterations. I think Gabbard might also fall in that same band but gets excused because of too many question marks.

And then I went through isidewith.com getting 91 % for Sanders and Warren :lol:

Though it's very close with Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Steyer at 90 and only Bloomberg and Delaney below 80.

And Trump at 26. Guess he won't be getting my support :p

    • France out , the first time in 20 years 
    • I think the Dutch men (especially in long distances) are simply not good enough. We've been leaders in long distances for decades, but we've always had great talents like De Jong, Romme, Bergsma, Kramer, and Roest. They're not around right now, so we're focusing more on short distances, but there's a certain Stolz who reigns supreme.   What I've noticed is that many newcomers (Jilek, Lubineaud etc) originally come from inline skating. The Netherlands should look into that too. We also need to be open to new training methods, like those of the Swede Nils Svensson, who won two gold medals in Beijing with a unique training regime.   Good luck with Ghiotto, I will definitely cheer for him: such a friendly person and a beautiful skater. He really deserves a gold medal.

    • If that draw seemed a surprise for us, what should we say about their last 2 matches, wins against City and Atletico Ok, with City is somehow understandable due tu low temperatures in Norway, but last night they won in Madrid against Atletico...unbelivable
    • First look at the ski jumping Olympic venue

    • The all Dutch men seemed out of form in Inzell. Could this mean some intense strength training during this period? Overall, I think that, the progress in the men's long-distance events has been incredible since last year and I have the impression that both Ghiotto and the Netherlands team haven't caught on to some new equipment updates? The times achieved this season by: Eitrem, Jilek, Lubinaud, Semyrunyyi and Davson are incredible in terms of time progress year by year. But considering the financial potential of the Netherlands, I'm surprised they could have to by left behind technologically? Unfortunately, this doesn't surprise me in Italy's case, as we don't even have a single indoor track to test our technological innovations – the one in Milan is currently inaccessible even to the hosts. Of course, if Italy were a normal country, who supported their own athletes, the track in Milan should have been available only for the Italian team for many months ago, where would be testing various innovations there, but unfortunately that is not the case, because we live where we live
