I remember him once actually citing those hilarious PC charts where they place world leaders before as something other than a hilarious #analysis piece to laugh at and seems to think they have some merit. Well that'll probably change:

You're quite a bit late here, BRTD. I already realized how bad they were years ago, when I looked at the charts for countries outside the US. Before I thought they were simply viewing US politics through a European lens, but after that I realized they just were retarded.

In fact, I spent this entire thread bashing them about how their arbitrary placements don't come anywhere near lining up with their own test. And I just noticed you even posted in this thread. I guess you have a very bad memory.

How exactly did Clinton move right and Trump move left since February? If anything it's the opposite. And LOL at Stein being to the left of Sanders.

So I guess a Trump/Johnson swing voter should like Hillary, since they would be right around that spot in the compass. Wink

Defending the political compass years ago vs. Getting a fact about another country's census wrong years ago

I mean the later is a simple mistake, while the former is inexcusable.

Sir, have you ever been notified that eight years ago, Gully Foyle made a post claiming that Hispanic was a racial option on the US Census form?

Realizing you were mistaken has never stopped BRTD from harping on a point for years on end. Just ask Gully Foyle.
