Episode 14: Todd Niesen and Gabe Garber - 'Political Compass'

In Episode 14 of UnityNow, host Toby Davis is joined by Todd Niesen, UnityNow producer and sound engineer, and Gabe Garber, UnityNow graphic designer, co-host and music producer. Here, the three volunteers compare and contrast their results from the popular “Political Compass”. The test includes a series of questions meant to place respondents on a 2-axis graph. The y-axis goes from “Authoritarian” at the top to “Libertarian” at the bottom. The x-axis goes from “Liberal” on the left to “Conservative” on the right. They discuss what can be learned from taking the “Political Compass” test and get into some specific areas where they disagree, among other topics.

In July, Unity2020 burst onto the political stage with a simple yet radical idea -- elect two individuals from both political sides as a single ticket. Since then, over 30,000 (and growing) volunteers have joined the movement. While Unity2020 is no longer working to achieve ballot access in the 2020 election, the need for the movement still continues.

Great work team. Cool to see some disagreement happen here without provoking any outrage.

What I found interesting is that our team may skew left or right on the economic scale, but we were all firmly in the libertarian side on the social scale.
