Honestly, I don't think it's that useful to eliminate candidates after one disagreeing stance. While ideal, there will never be a candidate with who I fully agree with. It would be much more useful to ask multiple questions and report back with which candidate's views align most closely with mine.
Got only one question.<p>Rand Paul is the _only_ candidate who disagrees with the notion that taxes on the wealthy should be increased?<p>I don't know much about american politics, but this seems to be a little bit strange. Are you sure your question/candidate database is correct?
Feedback: this is Not good. I'm pro choice and don't believe we need stronger gun control... Which candidate you say I should vote for depends on the order the questions are asked but it currently is.<p>Your data seems off as well as trump has (historically at least) been ambivalent about abortion and sanders has been ambivalent about gun control.
I just visited the page for the first time and am presented with the following (on the lower half of the page):<p><pre><code> Candidates that agree with your opinions:
Hillary Clinton
Bernie Sanders
Donald Trump
Rand Paul
Your opinions so far:
I will vote for someone who is not running for president. (Disagree) Remove
</code></pre>
I have not yet answered any questions. Is this the intended behavior?
I've been looking for this for a long time. I found a website recently that does this, but it isn't an app / interactive you have to find what you are looking for. Will definitely recommend this to my non-political friends who care about the country but don't have time to research.
You could first ask if the topic is important to the voter.<p>AS there are thousands of topics most candidates do not express a preference for things. Each preference they do have also eliminates voters.<p>"Taxes for wealthy people"
[important] [not important]<p>"War with Iran"
[important] [not important]<p>"Militart spending"
[important] [not important]<p>etc
This seems to be structured around single-issue voting. Well there are certainly plenty of people voting that way, they are probably least likely to benefit from this sort of tool.<p>(Of course, only having a few questions might make it work this way too.)<p>Neat project regardless.
I'm surprised that Trump is not excluded when agreeing on "Taxes on wealthy people should be increased."<p>Otherwise four candidates from two parties that aren't that different in reality is really not much to choose from.
