How Partisan is Atlas?

[Goldwater]

I decided to try to classify my last 100 posts, here what I came up with:

Left/Anti-Right: 14
Right/AntI-Left: 13
Doesn't quite fall under either category: 73

[John Dule]

I did calculations for a few new users. My hypothesis is really starting to hold water.

77 apolitical posts
54 left-wing posts
10 right-wing posts

I wonder what Mr Morden's score would be: long-term poster who has literally never let slip his actual opinions.

[parochial boy]

Interesting stuff actually - echoing what others have said, there seems to be a crazy correlation between how high up or down a poster is on the partisan frequency axis and whether I bother to read their posts or not.

Looking at my last 100 posts I got

Left wing - 23
Right wing - 2
non-partisan - 75

I just looked through 100 posts of his... his score is actually incalculable, because to plot him on the chart I need at least one left/right data point and he has zero.

I wonder what people would assume of mine if they tried to do me. I just don't have the time or patience to go through hundred of my posts

Past 125 posts:

Apolitical/Neutral: 63
Left: 38 (61% of political posts)

A number of my last 100 posts are "strategy" posts about the science of politics and the "horse race" aspects of 2020.

I'm not right wing on that aspect; at least not FAR right.  My basic beliefs about the 2020 election is that the Democrats have strategic advantages that they seem to be squandering with their impeachment pipe dreams and a somewhat flawed field of candidates. 

I've believed (and posted) that the Democrats were looking for a candidate to be airlifted into the race and present a coherent, broad-based challenge to Trump.  Bloomberg is the kind of candidate I had in mind for this (although I think Al Gore would have been the best pick here).  If the issue in 2020 is the unsavory character of Trump, a guy like Bloomberg is the sort of person that can build a WIDE (if not deep) coalition and can self-fund.

Atlas is not a partisan forum; it's just that it is currently populated with a leftist majority.  It's not an echo chamber like Daily Kos or Free Republic, however.  There are those here that would make it an echo chamber, but there are enough to keep it honest in that regard.

Yah you are to the left of most blue avatars on here

I feel like Fuzzy would be a contrarian, if there was a sudden Paul Ryan/Rand Paulian  economists invasion of the forum he would be arguing just as hard against them.

I'd be somewhat to the left of that.

If anyone disagrees with my scores for them, they're free to submit different ones by calculating them themselves. However, if they're significantly different I'll have to look back to make sure that their numbers are accurate (or at least arguable).

EDIT: Added color-coding.

DOUBLE EDIT: Also, I stuck Morden at the 50% marker because I thought it seemed fair.

Mine's probably accurate for right now.

I'm also anti-impeachment, and I abhor the sham process that is now going on.  Whatever my opinions of Trump overall, I view this impeachment as crassly political and lacking in High Crimes and Misdemeanors of the kind that the Founders would consider to be such.  How this has all come about is shocking, and not in a way that flatters the enemies of Trump.  It is something that ought not succeed, and my opinion on this drives my partisanship these days.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Can you start doing the color-coding again? That made certain patterns easier to notice and interpret. And it was pretty to look at!

Gonna keep FF/HP threads here too, I would wait a week from initial post date. Btw if you don't mind John maybe you could place the FF score next to each user we collect data from?
