Here's help to decide who to support in the primaries

https://www.isidewith.com/elections/2020-presidential-quiz

Run through a questionnaire to see who best fits your viewpoints. You can click on "Other stances" to dial in a more accurate answer. It's fun, but I don't know how accurate it is.

My preferred candidates are:

Beto O'Rourke 84%
Tulsi Gabbard 82%
Kamala Harris 80%

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

I like Jay Inslee katmondoo Mar 2019 #1

I wouldn't put much faith in that site. TwilightZone Mar 2019 #2

especially if the fairly divergent views of Beto, Harris and Tulsi end up the same as with the OP hlthe2b Mar 2019 #4

Agreed. I suspect it's weighted to provide a specific result. TwilightZone Mar 2019 #6

It predicted a 50-state win for Bernie in the 2016 Primaries, based on "data" they seem to have pulled out of thin air.

It may not be apparent on an individual basis, but reflects in the overall numbers.

Like the 2016 version's claim of 90+% for Bernie out of 1+ million "votes". That seems a little...unlikely.

Trump is said by them to favor same sex marriage being legal, is considered a moderate on deregulation (he has actually accomplished more deregulation than any President since Reagan), the site says Biden favors arming school teachers when he specifically said arm a guard or one teacher I could go on.

93% Gabbard
88% Sanders
85% Beto
84% Warren
83% Harris
82% Klobuchar
82% Buttigieg
82% Delaney
81% Castro
80% Booker
79% Biden
77% Gillibrand
75% Yang

I'm satisfied because I plan to switch allegiance to Beto if he enters. I didn't tailor any responses to fit Beto but he came up highest of the "electable" options anyway.

If Joe doesn't step into the ring, or if he does and doesn't become our candidate, I'll support whichever candidate gets the nomination. Other than that, I'm good to go.

And the "results" toss in a couple of other candidates to make it a little less obvious.

Not surprising at all, considering the history of this particular site, though I'm kind of surprised everyone doesn't get Bernie. Maybe ISideWith has switched allegiances.
