If you havent heard about this website yet, check it out. It takes just a few minutes to try and if you are like 82% of all the people that try it, it can be an eye opener. (That percentage is the number of people who get results that are not in alignment with who they are voting for).
Its a great idea, it compares what you believe with the platform of each specific candidate. The website that is hosting it carefully researched all of the platforms, and if you are unfamiliar with them, there are definitions of each and what it means to support or oppose each. An argument could be made that this would be a more objective way of electing officials, but that would take all the fun out of it.
Yeah, this quiz is floating around the emails at work. I got it a few weeks ago from a die-hard democrat who was trying to get me to ‘realize that I really am a Democrat’. 🙂 My results were as conservative as you can get. 🙂 It was awesome.
my result was consistent with the candidate of my choice. The thing that is really cool about this site is that it can educate you really quick about the platforms and where certain candidates stand. While some citizens "like" a candidate, they are often unfamiliar with what he/she is proposing.
I jumped on this site last week and found it interesting that two of my top choices are the ones that I was already choosing between but then I have a curve ball thrown in with one candidate who I have NO desire to vote for…interesting…
