[public] a political preference quiz because it's been a while.

Pew Research Center says I fit in best with the Outsider Left!
... and also don't see fit to include an HTML sharing option without Iframes and ECMAScript so that Dreamwidth will actually allow it!

the quiz is only 20 questions long (as opposed to 27 for the original study, at least in its 2021 incarnation (they've clearly done this same exercise in past years), which they used to come up with the nine groups in the first place), and I must complain that not one question was about balancing the budget or reducing the national debt. does NO ONE care about this mammoth looming issue anymore?

here's how the nine groups compared on the issues and on demographics.

and here's the details of the Outsider Left. personally, I don't feel like this group as described is actually a great fit for me, especially the bit about "holding liberal views on most issues and voting overwhelmingly Democratic". I've always considered myself more of a libertarian than anything... though it looks like, according to the current iteration of the World's Smallest Political Quiz™, I'm actually now a moderate? and wasn't this the quiz that was supposed to be biased towards libertarian results?
