Have you people done the new and improved WaPo quiz of which candidate agrees the most with you?

Apparently, I'm a Steyer boy, followed by Patrick and Klobuchar. On the other hand, Yang, Gabbard and Sanders are last, though I agree at least on half the answers with all candidates except Yang.

Interesting.. Though I question how accurate this is given it was cobbled together by just a few people at WaPo and only consists of 20 random questions. Not enough to cover the bulk of these candidates' ideals, policies, etc. Regardless:

12:
Bloomberg (honestly shocked haha)
Gabbard
Steyer
Patrick (who..?)

11:
Biden (again, pretty shocked!)
Buttigieg
Klobuchar
Yang

10:
Bennet

8:
Warren

7:
Bernie - this is what surprises me most, as Bernie is my #3 after Gabbard and Yang, and many of his messages/philosophy resonates with me. Though ultimately I guess I AM more moderate, and these days I tend to support Bernie more based off his support of Tulsi and empathizing with the smears against him, more so than agreeing w/all his policies beat for beat. Overall I just trust him more, especially more than the old guard establishment like Biden.

Well, this is a nice little game, but not a real political predictor. There are nuances that can't be captured by this quiz, there is the selection of questions, there is the probability that the candidate keeps his campaign trail promises if elected. It might be helpful to click on the notes what the candidates actually said, that made WaPo put them into one of the possible groups of answers.
