The guy who runs the politicalcompass is a moron

[FUCK THE POLICE]

This is pretty much proof that whenever he graphs peoples political positions all he does is throw a dart on a political compass map and move it depending on how he's feeling that day:

Notice Mike Gravel.

I looked at that, and I was like, WTF? The man changed it. He use to have Mike Gravel to the economic left of Kucinich. Then he randomly heard that Gravel joined the Libertarian party, and suddenly vaulted him over to Ron Pauls territory. And Gravel pretty much hasn't changed at all.

Here's his explanation:

"Perhaps the most breath-taking u-turn in the primaries so far belongs to Mike Gravel, a left-leaning Democrat and undoubted civil libertarian who has now put his lot in with the Libertarian Party. On the social scale this doesn't represent much of a leap, but economically the mercurial Mr.Gravel, a long-standing champion of universal health care and a redistributive economy, has vaulted from social democracy to a radical neo-liberal platform well to the right of most Republicans. "

Listen, we all know this guy is a socialist, but I used to think he had a little integrity. He doesn't.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Basically, he filled in Gravels old dot with Nader.

What a fucking moron.

I knew those positions seemed arbitrarily calculated.

If he does promote a lassez faire system of business now, then he would be about where Friedman would sit.

Don't know if this will work or not but I took the "test" and this is how it came out. What does it mean?
