Let The Web Pick Your Presidential Candidate
from the well,-maybe-not dept
Because no one can make up their mind any more without the support of a computer telling them it's okay, there are now a ton of websites out there where you can answer a bunch of multiple choice questions and it will tell you who to vote for. Of course, all three "tests" linked from the article had very bad questions that painted certain issues in very black and white tones - without getting into the reasons why these issues are complex issues that can't be answered with a simple "oppose" or "favor". Also, I wonder how useful any of them are - since each one gave me very different results. Maybe that means I shouldn't vote and should leave such things up to those who do see complex issues as black and white.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
