96 percent Green, 93 percent Democrats, 77 percent socialist. 26th libertarian and 2 percent Republican (no policy areas, meaning they automatically assign 2 percent to everyone).

I vote for Democrats.

I did ask for other options for most of the questions. The pat 'yes' or 'no' wasn't working for me.
A lot of the issues I left at 'somewhat'. I slid it over to 'more' or 'most' on economic and environmental issues...maybe a couple others.

"Should the U.S. remove references to God from currency, federal buildings, national monuments and other aspects of government?

Yes, it creates a bias against religions that do not believe in God."


The whole quiz seemed to really miss important stuff as well as just saying stupid things. Not a single race question in the social issues?
