Wow, you are one amazing guesser  

 

Not so hard. If you're not living in one of those 2 states or spend way too much time following this election (like me), you don't really know him

The option I wanted wasn't available  

 

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.

That was the “debt free” option

Could have formulated that better.

Yes, now what?  

 

I'm not going to be so pathetic to say "Oh Trump says this, so I automatically say the opposite".

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

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

I’d never heard of this, so thanks for pointing it out 

 

Here’s result for presidential:

Biden 80%, Bloomberg 76%, Trump 25% (which is a bit higher than it should be)

 

Political Party Preference:

 

 

I felt much better represented by the options on this quiz. This is by far a much better resource, and one that will help me form my vote. Again I felt as though as was further left than most of the political candidates and parties, not by much, but noticeable. It’s good to know that the three candidates I’d be most likely to support are the one's competing for my vote long before the quiz. Apparently, I would be okay with Klobuchar being president .
 

I’ve always thought I was closest to the Greens, so I was actually quite surprised to see Peace and Freedom pop up. I might actually change my registration there, since Peace and Freedom is an active political party in California. I won’t support the Greens because there’s a lot of corruption in the American Green Party. I’ll have to look into the American Socialist Party. I refuse to register as a Democrat.

 

On the heat map showing political likeness to my positions across the country, there were only 5 districts with voting patterns I would agree with. Those were: LA, SF, New Mexico North, Boston, NYC.

Meaning you either were incorrect in your answers or this website gave Trump standpoints he doesn't actually have. There is no shame in 'agreeing 25%' with a politician, there is more shame in being ashamed of that.
