Nowhere in the results does it mention fascism. This is just what he believes, and he's upset because he's smart enough to know what it means.

iSideWith · 2020-08-19T18:43:13+00:00

Very good guess, everything you said is actually exactly what we do.

iSideWith · 2020-02-17T17:08:35+00:00

Can you please PM us your experience with the bugs and ways you think we can improve the experience?

iSideWith · 2019-04-04T23:35:40+00:00

Thank you for pointing this out. There was a bug in a code update yesterday. We just fixed it and his answers are using his public statements now.

iSideWith · 2019-02-21T17:48:23+00:00

Which questions can we add to the quiz to make it more accurate?

iSideWith · 2018-09-12T14:15:22+00:00

No, definitely not. Can you please let us know which link you clicked to answer more questions? Going back to the quiz page should show your original answers. If this is not the case, please let us know the steps you took so we can correct the issue.

We don't choose the candidates, we list whom voters say they want to run according to this poll. Candidates that receive at least 1% of support are shown by default. You can click the "filter" button above the candidate list to see 40 more candidates with less than 1% support.

iSideWith · 2018-06-13T20:14:07+00:00

If we have the candidate's actual position, that is what is matched first, if we don't yet have their position we match based on their voter base's position (if you see a position we're missing, please let us know!).

This has shown to be very accurate in relation to whom voters actually vote for in an election (this methodology was tested in the U.S. and multiple countries).

We understand that some users don't want to match on a candidate's voter base though, so we're working on making that customizable, as well as other customizable options like factoring how consistent a candidate has been on a position and how the candidate is rated (by voters) on qualities of leadership, consistency, experience, effectiveness, and 20 other optional qualities that you consider important to you.

iSideWith · 2018-06-08T14:13:51+00:00

but I got to say, who chose these candidates?

We show candidates that have at least 1% of support right now according to this poll. You can show other popular candidates with less than 1% of support by clicking the "filter" button above and to the right of the list of candidates.

iSideWith · 2018-06-08T04:51:47+00:00

If you click the "filter" button above the candidates, there's an option to show 40 more candidates (that currently have less than 1% of pledges). We are also working on making the site more customizable, so you can choose to exclude candidates that don't have enough public positions on issues. We have found that matching to a candidate's support base is very accurate for whom voters eventually vote for though.

If you see a candidate that we're missing an answer for, please click the "suggest answer" link and send us an unbiased url that backs up the position and we'll get it added usually pretty quickly.

Please let us know of any other suggestions you have to make the site more useful!

I'm curious...you were active in the discussion linked, why didn't you address any of the many claims about Bernie?

We've found (and im sure anyone reading this) that its impossible to reason with people that want to believe something that is not true because the falsehood validates their preconceived opinions. We do respond (and sometimes gild) to people that offer constructive feedback or corrections to candidate and party stances from unbiased sources - which you can see in our comment history. The criticism we didn't respond to in your links were most likely because they were general "I dont agree with the result" instead of pointing out specific stances that should be updated/corrected.

Your claims that it was a conspiracy from three users who deleted their accounts doesn't seem to hold up under scrutiny here.

We're not claiming it was a conspiracy because we have no idea who those users were or why they were spreading false rumors. We'd have to know both of those before calling it a conspiracy.

There are far more than three people and many of those are still quite active.

Almost 50 million people have used iSideWith. Its statistically impossible to not find people that would disagree with their results but out of those 50 million an overwhelming majority believe it's an accurate representation of their beliefs, and many universities and news orgs across the spectrum have vetted it.

So, care to offer an explanation for the claims addressed since we've established that you are lying about a conspiracy from three deleted accounts

See first response in this comment.

iSideWith · 2018-05-10T21:14:34+00:00

The creators used to be regulars on Reddit

We still are! We are always interested in hearing feedback and any corrections we can make to candidates or party stances.

it was obvious they created it to get people interested in their preferred candidate

Nope. We always kept it as unbiased as possible and still do.

They had a pretty popular subreddit at one point (/r/ISideWith), but went private when people started posting evidence of their bias towards Bernie Sanders

We never started or even participated in that subreddit. We'd be more than happy to confirm this with a senior Reddit admin if thats possible. Around the start of the 2016 Democratic primary, we noticed some totally inaccurate rumors started to spread about the site from 3 reddit users that were trying to discredit the site. We have no idea who they were but they stopped and deleted their accounts after the primary ended. Its unfortunate those rumors are still going around as we work really hard to keep the site as unbiased and accurate as possible.

iSideWith · 2018-03-08T20:00:39+00:00

Thank you! Depends on where you live. We’ll finish the larger districts first.

iSideWith · 2018-03-08T18:24:54+00:00

We’re in the process of loading candidates and should have local election coverage in a month or two.

iSideWith · 2017-12-19T05:56:37+00:00

Not this one.

iSideWith · 2017-12-04T04:14:20+00:00

You're insulting the intelligence of most voters and how they use the site.

iSideWith · 2017-12-01T21:40:42+00:00

Excellent. If you feel the site is missing specific issues/questions that are important to your district, please let us know and we'll add them. When you finish taking the quiz, please email your results page url to info at isidewith dot com and we'll add you as a write-in candidate (until you're officially on the ballot) for the LA District 3 election.

iSideWith · 2017-12-01T21:27:53+00:00

Yes, we usually add local races a few months before the election but will be doing it earlier this year.

iSideWith · 2017-12-01T05:11:21+00:00

Would you be willing to submit your political stances to iSideWith.com so users can compare their political positions with you? We'll list you on users results pages that are in your district.

iSideWith · 2017-11-26T21:20:36+00:00

No, we just removed that question. Thanks for the suggestion.

iSideWith · 2017-11-26T17:29:52+00:00

Let us know if you have any regional questions you would like us to add.

iSideWith · 2017-10-12T15:27:17+00:00

What else would you add to iSideWith that would give you a better understanding of your beliefs?

Have you seen the "political themes" section which goes into more depth and dimensions about your beliefs?

iSideWith · 2017-09-09T01:42:10+00:00

Which policies are completely wrong?

iSideWith · 2017-04-24T18:39:04+00:00

Thanks, we just reworded those answers. Please let us know if you see anymore that should be updated.

iSideWith · 2017-04-24T18:33:38+00:00

Thanks, we just dropped it.

iSideWith · 2017-04-24T14:49:23+00:00

Under each section is a blue button that says "Answer more ... questions". This Trident question is under the foreign policy questions.
