we had a thread not that long ago with a political compass website where I cobbled together people's results and mapped it on the same chart, plus a few of my own addition for those who hadn't taken it.
if you could find the thread you could find the source data;

I don't think the thread was indexed by google so I can't find it with keywords or image searches
from image metadata I can tell you it was around 5/15/2018

/e pretty sure it was the "interesting poll" thread where we used the isidewith.com test

the results look like they're a 1:1 match with the data points, ie look where skinned's dot is

Ok, so say we're using a left-right score from -100 (most leftist) to +100 (most right-wing), then I'd say (in no particular order):

Inkanddagger: - 100
Ghot: +100 (these two establish the boundaries of our ideological spectrum)
thesnipa: +5
thatalex: - 15
icemage: +15
goomshill: +35
excellence: +75
helical: + 90
fender: - 90, a +80 on the "derp scale"
thor: - 35
beo: - 45
insanebobb: + 50 ('centrist' my ass)
saucy: - 60, a +90 on the derp scale
skinned: - 50
cambovenzi: + 25
duffman: - 55
endlesssky: + 40

myself: + 25

did I miss anyone?


I cant really position you yet btw, I'd say you're a moderate, perhaps slightly left-leaning. But I need to see more posts before forming a definitive opinion.

Interesting.

I have some disagreements but your list seems fair enough to me to not nit pick too much

Pretty hard to make a case of me -45 if cam and goom are +25 to +35 if this is heavily weighted in rhetoric and endless at +40

I don't think you're giving Trump credit of the myriad executive overreaches he's been rolling back. He's been peeling back policies past where Bush left them let alone Obama, and it mostly flies under the radar and doesn't get much fanfare
Nobody really makes a big deal out of it when Trump issues some EO revoking some other EO and returning power from the federal government to states. Title IX was a blurb in the news for literally 1 day only. Even the most major ones like the Iran Deal don't get talked about anymore. Look at the Waters of the US act- Trump rolled it back further than Bush. The federal government ended the power struggle and ceded those ephemeral wetlands to the states. If Trump was an authoritarian right-winger, he could have kept control over those wetlands and forced them open to mining operations or whatever. Instead its the hands-off approach.

Now just because the press was on Obama's side doesn't make him savvy. History will judge him from a better perspective than you or me now, but my impression in the long game is that all Obama's executive actions to enact his agenda were like building a house on quicksand. Without a stable footing, it was doomed to sink and come crashing down. Everything that one man made unilaterally, one man could unmake unilaterally- and he did. And it only took a couple years.
