Has anyone taken the WaPo quiz matching your views to the Dem candidates?

If so, did you find it accurate or surprising? I was surprised since my number one match was Tom Steyer, then Bloomberg (who is probably full of bs). Warren, Buttigieg and Klobuchar came next w/ the same number. After that was Biden. Following up in the rear were Sanders and Gabbard.

Here is the link if you are curious. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/policy-2020/quiz-which-candidate-agrees-with-me/?itid=sf_elections

Kind of interesting. I don't think it's going to change my opinion, which is still forming, but there is a lot of good info in there if you drill down on the specific issues.

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

For US House, it got my district wrong. It is asking me about candidates that are not the ones running in my district. Stupid gerrymandering in NC. I guess I need to go look up those candidates and try to match them to who is running in the 9th District, the one they moved my area to the last time they gerrymandered NC.



P.S. I decided to take that quiz too, because I'm trying to break a tie.
P.P.S. Oh, no. It gave me a three way tie with 97% on all three.

It is going to come down to a three way tie now instead of what I thought was a two way tie. It is a decent poll. For anyone behind the paywall, I would recommend it. I think it is better than the other one, to be honest.

I kind of hoped it would break a tie between the two I have narrowed it down to. It didn't, lol. I need to make a decision soon. We have our primaries in March.

Steyer/Bloomberg/Warren!

As I'm basing my decision on most likely to defeat tr, this is not relevant, but interesting.

That includes winning the election and getting shit done, even if only incrementally, once inaugurated.
