2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI haven't seen this posted in a while - The Political Compass

For those DUers who've never seen this before, there is an online test that asks a series of questions designed to measure both your economic position on the political spectrum (X-axis left/right) as well as your authoritarian/libertarian position (Y-axis up/down). I remember taking this back in 2008. What surprised me is that I thought I might have moverd further toward the center. According to my chart (above) my political positions are in the same part of the ballpark as Ghandi.

and that is where you see me. I just took this test. It was interesting, but I am a little surprised!
