Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumWhich candidate agrees with you the most?
For what it is worth, WaPo created a candidate quiz
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/policy-2020/quiz-which-candidate-agrees-with-me/
I found the results surprising, but also perhaps not that valid.
So I got five questions where NONE of the candidates agreed with me. Otherwise it was Bloomberg 13, Biden 11, a bunch of them at 6 and then Warren at 1. Warren and I agree that the US should consider a jobs guarantee.
I dislike the questions that say "consider" though. Ultimately I am willing to consider everything, even things I am against, but to consider something is not the same as supporting something or even enacting something. Heck, I could support something and then perhaps be persuaded to change my mind by the people who oppose it.
I am against Bloomberg on principle though, because I generally do not believe that billionaires will stand up for the working class. This quiz, though, seemed to ask very few working class related issues.
Also, even though I would consider everything, I said I would not if I am currently against something. I basically replaced the word consider with the word enact.

BTW I could possibly see voting for a billionaire for President one day. Governor Pritzker here in Illinois is doing some amazing stuff.

I was surprised by Warren's very low score, especially since in 2016 I was part of a Warren for President group on the face. Gabbard was the next lowest, and I kinda like her.
I haven't watched any of the debates, and really the Kansas primary is so late in the contest that I expect it to be over by then.

(42,770 posts)take any risk and the other half think it's prime time to do it. My intuition is that trump wants Bernie to win. He is just itching to run against "socialism"

(34,507 posts)than their last version, IIRC. There were few questions on issues that matter to most people, and some on issues probably few think about.
