I almost never reblog posts but this one is so fantastic that I had to share it with everybody. Tori is a gifted blogger and a wonderful, passionate person.

One of the problems with elections in far-away places (like the USA) is that people say good things about their favoured candidates and bad things about the others and it is hard to evaluate their assertions if you don’t know the issues. Someone said that in the current US election the moral issues are absolutely clearcut, but that is of little use unless you know that the moral issues are.

Fortunately for us who live far away, there are online quizzes that let you know how closely the candidates’ moral compass aligns with your own. It also lets you specify how important the various issues are to you.

I said all the pro-life issues were very important to me, and you know which candidate they said I should vote for (if I were American)?

Jill Stein.

Jill who?

I had to Google for her, as I’d never heard of her.

You can see the whole thing, with the percentages they allocated to each of the candidates, here: American elections: rhetoric and reality | Notes from underground.

The quiz also told me to vote for Jill Stein. And just like you, I didn’t know who she was. 🙂

You see how much we have in common?
