There are 2 reasons I eliminate candidates after disagreeing stance.
1) It was easier to code and I just wanted to get this site up. :)
2) You can always press the "skip" button to ignore the question.
I think it's an interesting dynamic and really engages you when some candidates are eliminated, then you realize that issue might not be very important to you, click the "go back a question" button and "skip" that question.
What you end up with is a personal list of important issues for you and you can say "I'm voting for this candidate for these specific reasons".
Thank you for the feedback and trying the app out bcohen.
- disagree with Candidate A on issue 1, but agree on issues 2-10, and
- agree with Candidate B on issue 1, but disagree on issues 2-10,
you'll be matched with Candidate B purely because Candidate A (a 90% match) was eliminated for a single disagreement.
I applaud the idea, but this needs a bit more work before it can come anywhere close to www.isidewith.com.
