There is no way Trump and Hillary belong in the same quadrant. This whole "Political Compass" talk, is a pile of BS.

As a Brazillian, I live in a country where many parties co-exist and they have sometimes vastly different understanding of how government should work (or shouldn't work)

In my perspective, Trump and Hillary look fairly close. I think US bipartisan system make Americans somewhat unable to understand a broader political spectrum

I've seen Americans calling countries like Germany socialists, I don't think Germans seem themselves as a socialists nations, and socialists nations like China and Vietnam would quickly call Germany a capitalist country

It's surprising that Trump and Clinton aren't closer to each other. 

I think this map few posts above describes pretty good how the two parties in US are aligned. If you look from the outside, it looks like the two parties run the excact same things with a little twist. And they do.

In part they are aligned that way, because in most cases, it seems that US constitution is the bottom half. It gives people a lot of freedoms, and to an extent, both parties try to limit the freedoms that the constitution gives.
