Did the "I Side With" candidate selector ahead of the debates. Here are my results:

Will check political compass soon

Warren 91%. Surprised I didn't match even higher. She's my first choice.

Sanders 91%. No surprise here. He was my guy last time around.

Harris 91% My second choice. No Surprise.

Gillibrand 89% Hmmmm. Very low on my list because of Franken

Castro 88% Haven't given him much thought yet.

Gabbard 88% No. Just no.

O'Rourke 88% Maybe? Don't know him very well.

Buttigieg 88% Tied w/ Bernie in my list.

Klobuchar 84% She's ok. Don't love her, but don't hate her either.

Yang 84% Don't know him very well.

Booker 81%. Seems like a few times I heard him on TV and felt like we were pretty far apart on some things.

Williamson 81% Know nothing about her.

Biden 75% Surprised we matched this well. Not really a fan. I will support him if I have to, but.. well, I've been through bankruptcy and it's looming over our family again.

Delaney 56% No idea who this is.

Many missing candidates. Would have liked to have seen Inslee's and Swallwell's results.

1. Link? nt

2. added to my post for you. if you do the full expanded quiz, plan on taking a rather

long time to complete it, esp if you ask it for optional replies,

[NYMinute]

3. I searched DU for old threads about iSideWith and found this

5. Thanks! Not sure if their candidate matching algorithm is as dicey as

their election results one, but I always take these things with a grain of salt. Still, with the candidate field being as crowded as it is, it would be nice if one of these matching sites really worked!

[NYMinute]

7. It is a useless survey with an extreme liberal bias

and even if you pose as a conservative, you end up matching a highly progressive candidate.

I think it was a gimmick of the Bernie campaign and it seems to have been resurrected for 2020.

[Honeycombe8]

14. It didn't work that way for me.

Curiously, I top-matched at 92% for three very different candidates: Klobuchar, Warren, and Beto.

Bernie & most others were at 90% and below. Biden was 84%.

I even matched a couple of answers with Kasich and some guys I don't know who they are.

I think it has to do with which answers you gave the most importance to. And who you said you'd vote for, if you voted today.

[treestar]

35. That was funny

It made me think of that too.

[mcar]

4. Came in close to 95% most of the top Dems

No surprise.

[spooky3]

11. ditto nt

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. I had a few surprises. Hoping more research and the debates

helps further clarify things.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Thanks for posting this, it's been awhile since I've taken it

And certainly not since we had 24 candidates!

[MsLeopard]

8. I was tied with

Julian Castro and Elizabeth Warren. Both at 97 agreement. It’s funny, because JC wasn’t even on my radar; but now he is!

[earthshine]

9. Mmmm. I most match with Castro. Didn't expect that.

Castro 98%
Warren 97%
Sanders 96%
Gabbard 96%

So far, I'm with Warren or Sanders. Castro would have to make a tremendous showing in the debates to unseat Liz and Bernie, for me.

Gabbard? I read today that she said the Mueller report says "no collusion." I can't figure her out. One moment she's a progressive, the next she seems like a republican or maybe even an anarchist.

[BannonsLiver]

29. Yeah involvement in an anti gay cult sure sounds progressive.

And that’s even before we get to her warm feelings for Assad. She’s a terrible candidate who with any luck will be primaried next year by an authentic progressive Democrat.

But hey as long as she “doesn’t walk the party line” anything goes with some folks I guess.

Btw welcome back to DU.

[dustyscamp]

10. I thought Harris would be higher on the list

94% Bernie
93% Warren
91% Klobuchar
91% Castro
90% Gabbard

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. Warren, Sanders, Harris, O'Rourke all 91%

On the ideology graph, I am slightly to the left of all of them!

[JustAnotherGen]

13. Cool

1. Castro
2. Booker
3. Buttigieg
4. Klobuchar
5. Yang


Only one Im surprised by is Klobuchar.

[brooklynite]

16. Why aren't Warren, Sanders, Harris equally "low on your list"?

Either they're part of the Gillibrand conspiracy, or they're so weak-willed that they'd be terrible leaders.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. You win the prize for being the first to ask me that. You assume

all things are equal in this equation. While I am unhappy that the others also went in that direction, I felt that Gillibrand was pushing hardest. I also have other reasons why I don't care for her, which when added to the Franken thing, dropped her down further on my list. The others currently have fewer dings against them in my book, so they are higher.

How about you? How is your list shaping up, and do you think the debates will rearrange it?

[SouthernProgressive]

18. "Castro 88% Haven't given him much thought yet. "

If you have some time read up on his housing plans/thoughts. Second to none. He really understands what is going on and ways to improve things. Castro really needs to be back in a cabinet position. HUD.

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. I will do that. I have seen him in a couple of interviews, and I have

liked his presence and responses to questions.

[thesquanderer]

20. My pick Pete was only my 11th best match, at 91%. Biden worst at 75%.

Castro, Sanders, Yang, Warren, all at 96%.
Harris, Booker, O'Rourke, Gabbard at 95%.
Gillibrand at 94%, Klobuchar at 92%.

[IrishEyes]

21. I got Gillibrand with 89%

Warren 88%
Castro, Harris, Klobuchar and O'Rourke 87%
Buttigieg and Sanders 86%
Booker 85%
Gabbard and Williamson 84%
Yang 82%
Biden 80%
Delaney 76%

I'm surprised the numbers are so low. I answered every single question and many times I choose one of the other stances.

[jcgoldie]

22. My results were 96% Harris, 95% Warren...

Not surprising but what is disappointing to me is that I agree with Douchebag Trump 5% of the time... I thought it was ZERO!

[IronLionZion]

23. I got 92% for Harris, Klobuchar, O'Rourke, and Sanders

all great candidates, but not sure I like the questions in the quiz. I especially don't agree with the foreigners voting question, because it doesn't mention citizenship. I want US citizens voting, but many racists don't make the distinction between US citizen minorities
vs noncitizens. Anyone who gets a nice tan at the beach this summer is considered a foreigner.

Here's another quiz:

[Wounded Bear]

25. Hmmmm...

Warren 95%
Harris 94%
Sanders/Gabbard/Castro 94%
Gillibrand 93%
Booker/Klobuchar 92%

Hmmm, a little off from what I really think, and I wont let a survey like this affect my opinion much.

Questions seem to have a 2016 vibe to them, perhaps because we haven't really 'fixed' anything since then.

Interesting, I guess.

[Indygram]

27. Beto, Kobuchar and Booker 95%

Harris 94%, Warren 93%

Ironically...Biden and Bernie are both close to the bottom of my list.

[bluewater]

28. K&R

[essadaw]

31. Beto, Kamala, and Warren were my top

Biden and yang at the bottom of the democratic candidates for me. Interesting quiz—thanks for posting

[crazytown]

32. 95% Sanders/Gabbard/Castro, 91% Biden

94% Warren, 93% Harris/Klobuchar, 92% Pete, 91% Beto.

Doesn’t make sense.

[Kaleva]

33. John Delaney tops my list

91% John Delaney

87% Amy Klobuchar

87% Andrew Yang

87% Beto O’Rourke

86% Cory Booker

86% Tulsi Gabbard

85% Kamala Harris

85% Julian Castro

84% Pete Buttigieg

84% Bernie Sanders

83% Elizabeth Warren

82% Kirsten Gillibrand

81% Joe Biden

[RLG]

34. How could you "don't know O'Rourke well"?

Do tell.

[Kaleva]

36. I don't know much about him myself.

[GreenPartyVoter]

37. Haven't gone out of my way yet to follow him. So far I know

that he's young, has a fair number of followers, and takes good care of his teeth. I did read a bit on his immigration opinions yesterday, as I figured he would have some insight on life at the southern border. (I'm in Maine, so I have no firsthand information of my own to go off of.)
