Interpretation
What’s your total score on the political quiz?
0-3 Points: Leftist. You’re a leftist and probably don’t like capitalism. Unfortunately, that means it’s a rough world out there. Maybe you should join Redneck Revolt or something?
4-6 Points: Bernie. You are Bernie Sanders. Hi, Bernie! Are you running in 2020? Please let me know. Just click the Contact button at the top of the page and send me an email.
7-10 Points: Liberal. You’re a liberal Democrat, bringer of #resistance, gun control advocate, and fighter for the soul of our bourgeois democracy. Things are a bit rough right now with Donald Trump in office. But, not to worry, your party is taking back Congress in a couple of weeks.
