Default Re: Charts are awful, so are charts.

So, Clinton is to the left of Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders is almost as Left as you can get. Also, let's change "Authoritarian" on the chart to "Populist" because then you might get accused of calling Trump a right-wing authoritarian.

I kind of like the Nolan chart because it gives people a slightly more nuanced view of politics than a strict left-right dichotomy, but it's not an accurate measure by any means. You shouldn't be basing your political analysis on it.

Why did 538 think this chart made any sense?
