The political compass is a British website that tries to map politicians on 2-D grid, left-right horizontal and authoritarian-libertarian on the vertical. Their opinion of the US candidates is predictable, but still amusing compared to the US media (and much of the US public) perception.

Defining a political candidate takes more than two dimensions, but I DO like how the show Bernie just left of center and Hillary pretty far right. That seems about accurate.

Brilliant!

Donald Trump has simply cast himself as a solution. Trump is in many ways just saying what the other candidates would say on cocaine, but he’s also a unity candidate. His hope is to bring all of America together in their rejection of reality.
Quote :
For America, and indeed the rest of the world, Clinton versus Trump will be like being on a bus being driven at high speed towards a cliff by a psychopath, where there’s a chance that a chimpanzee might grab control of the steering wheel. It’s not a question of whether this will make things better or worse, it’s more that the whole idea of “better” may be gradually ceasing to exist.
