The @sfchronicle commissioned a #SanFrancisco mayoral version of the #VoteCompass quiz that actually yielded helpful (and surprising) results for me: my nominally closest match was #AshaSafai. While I will not be ranking him first on my actual ballot, I am going to bump him up much higher than I anticipated. votecompass.sfchronicle.com/

Vote Compass: Which S.F. election candidate is closest to your views?Vote Compass - 2024 San Francisco Mayoral ElectionUse this interactive survey designed by political scientists to calculate your alignment with the candidate platforms.

Of course I did not need to take this #VoteCompass quiz, but I wanted to see the questions they asked. (Spoiler: it is written as if normal political calculus applied in #Election2024.)

It would have been very satisfying to achieve 100% disagreement with #Trump. And gotta say, it would be 110% if the quiz actually addressed this election's existential issues like authoritarianism, fascism, civil society, and the rule of law.

CBC's Vote Compass is an interesting exercise although it's important to note it only captures correspondence on issues. In this election while my alignment with the NDP on many issues is not overwhelming, in our first past the post system, I feel defeating the UCP is the highest priority.
