I mean, the house I'm looking at right now has two Walmarts equidistant from it.
I'm going to ignore the obvious intent in this sentence and imagine you literally looking at some random person's house as you type this. Stalker Ramy has a nice ring to it.

Well I survived the debate, my bottle of merlot however, did not.
I like how the only person that actually followed the forum rules and commented on the topic rather than the "state of mind" of the poster.... was foney
Trump had a good night. But of course I would vote for Trump !
although that might also be one of the signs of the Apocalypse...

Sanders, which seems apparent.
Though with some fairly key differences on a few domestic issues and foreign policies.

This quiz was great!! *loves quizes* sharing in a sec!! (even though I'm not american, something like this should be done for everyone everywhere at every election, it makes it easier for people to know who they should vote for)
By Seha 2016-01-15 18:24:41
I thought it'd be Sanders since I tend towards socialism(or soviet according to Saevel lol) but instead..!
also much less authoritarian than I thought!
Had lot of fun though.

Sanders. I was already leaning toward him for the primaries.
EDIT: Though, across the R board on the topic of election reform and Rand Paul on immigration. Hmmmm...

Bernie, but our disagreement on GMOs almost gave Clinton a slight edge.

Hmm, that was a fun quiz. 85% for Rubio? Never would have guess that.
This map was pretty much how I pegged myself already, so it's nice to see a confirmation:
It was also interesting to see that I sided most with Hillary Clinton on immigration and Bernie Sanders on domestic policy, with a wide spread of Republicans on everything else. I'll have to look into their stances more thoroughly.

I wonder if individual circumstances, experiences and legislation from people in different states in recent years would cause some of us to be all over the board with candidates and not lock-step.
Are people also using the scale on the side that indicates the level of importance of each question and reviewing the drop down for "other options" for a more thorough result?
Regardless, good find!

Never thought I'd live to see the day that a yankee socialist and I would agree on so many things. Crazy how things work out.

Interesting that your pacifism puts you that much closer to the left wing. When my Militarism puts me the same distance to the right wing. My Green arrow is a little higher and more right. Probably due to the w/e you agree with Bernie on.

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
