Does anyone know what website this is?

Before the 2016 presidential primary, a friend gave me a URL - unfortunately, neither of us kept it. The website consisted of pages and pages of multiple choice questions on a variety of topics. At the end, it told you which candidate most shared your views, and it was a great help in narrowing down my choice.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks!

In 2015, they claimed that based on their polling data, Bernie Sanders was going to win all 50 states in the primaries.

There was a classic thread about it on DU at the time:

It always told me I sided with Bernie. I think I was matched with him something like 94% and with HRC like 86%. I can honestly say that it did affect my view of HRC. So maybe that's what they were after all along?

The numbers were skewed to almost always favor Bernie. Their projections, which they claim were based on polling, showed Bernie not only winning all 50 states, but 93% of Congressional districts.

It was actually kind of hilarious, though a lot of people took it much too seriously. For a while, anyway.

But I don't think it's been updated since 2016 and it's currently disabled. The site used to be a really good resource for info on the candidates, but I don't think it's being maintained this cycle.
