HEY!!!
YOU CAN SEE ME, CAN'T YOU? THEN WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME!?
from each other. Both have charts with a Left-Right axis and an Authoritarian-Libertarian axis. Both put Bernie Sanders in the lower-left quadrant, but Political Compass has it labeled Left-Libertarian, while ISideWith labels it Left-Authoritarian. Which one is correct?

Or are they both wrong?

I dunno, I found it helpful to learn that the most leftish Republican is actually Christie, not Trump.

Well that left according to the website's authors. By asking questions in a certain way and controlling what gets asked, a website like these ones can not only place a candidate in different places on the political spectrum but place the quiz taker where ever they want. Early political compass tests were made by libertarians to fool everyone into thinking they were libertarian for instance.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Last time I took this test it said that I'm a Lannister

Yeah but Christie wants to raid CO and WA to stop legal weed and can't stop talking about how wonderful NSA surveillance is, he might be slightly less terrible on a couple issues but he's a horrible authoritarian shithead. I would take President Trump over Christie in a heartbeat.
