  similarly, and less specific to the us election (so maybe of less relevance) is this site, that asks you a bunch of questions then plots you in two dimensional social/economic space: https://www.politicalcompass.org/ https://www.politicalcompass.org/ Amusingly political compass says I completely disagree with both Trump and Clinton - they're both in the Authoritarian-Right quadrant, whereas I end up in the Libertarian-Left quadrant. Whereas isidewith says I agree 98% with Clinton and also with Jill Stein, on environmental + criminal + electoral + social issues. So I'm not sure what we conclude from that. If both sites are accurate then my best choice on the menu is Clinton, but the menu is terrible and doesn't have any options remotely like what I actually want.

    I think politicalcompass.org takes the international view, separate from specific local political issues, which puts a lot of space to the left of nearly every single politician in the world (who tend towards right-authoritarian), whereas isidewith looks at specific issues for this election and the US specific situation. So for this election, you're closest to Clinton, but your ideal situation looks completely different from anything that could realistically result from this election.
