Wow, you are one amazing guesser :d 

 

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 :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.

That was the “debt free” option

Yes, now what? :p 

 

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 :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

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

 

Here’s result for presidential:

0F5B602C-1CB2-42FF-9671-E23433082DDF.jpeg

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

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 :p.
 

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.

    • 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
    • I like the new format, goal here or there can change the full table standing. great night yesterday.

    • 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
