Green Party 93%
Democrats 87%
Socialists 73%
Libertarians 19%
Constitution Party 13%
Conservative Party 3%
Republicans 0%

I'm frankly surprised that my score with the Democrats was so high and the Socialists so low (should have come out the opposite), but the survey questions didn't really reflect the full scope of issues, and some of its suggested "socialist" answers simply were not. I was disappointed with the selection of "nuanced" responses, because there were often either several or none that reflected my actual opinion.

From Jim's results:
I side with Green Party on most domestic policy issues.

ETA: the link is useful to compare the results of others to your own. There is a category "You" which (oddly enough) is er.... you. LJ and I agree on 84% of the issues.

ETA: Big RR and I agree on only 37%. Thank goodness (we both said) :lol:

I side with Meade on 36%, Jim on 37%, and BigRR on 97% of issues, apparently.

I took the survey again, because I noticed at least one "wrong" answer recorded (I did it on my phone the first time), but the results weren't significantly different -- except that my score with Republicans went up to 1%. :lol: :lol: (Also, agreement with Libertarians went from 19% to 33%, although I can't imagine why.) Anyway, for those who want to compare:

(first): http://www.isidewith.com/results/734098731

(second): http://www.isidewith.com/results/734192045

Turns out I agree with myself 99% of the time. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ah but on your re-do our agreement went up to 43% (on domestic and healthcare policy) so there is hope for you yet :shock:

Yes, that's certainly embarrassing, but I would point out in my defense that I only get a 28% agreement with the Greenies overall...(Which is still way too high... :oops: )

Maybe it was my "raise the minimum wage and tie it to the inflation rate" answer...

I like the this quiz better than other similar ones because of the range of options it gives you, (including the option to construct your own answer) I used the full list to work from through the whole quiz (though I did answer some "yes" or "no") and also answered all the additional optional questions in the drop down menu.

Those wascally Wepubwicans are at the bottom of my list. Incidentally, I responded to all the questions, not just those on the initial webpage.
