Politicalcompass.org claims that there is almost no difference between Obama and Romney

4. I'm a heterosexual white male with a good job. For me, there's little difference. That is privilege.

On the broader world political scale that political compass grades on, they are somewhat close, in the sense that the governable range in American politics is typically narrow. Interestingly, both are probably in terms of personal beliefs somewhat to the left of how they ran.

But, anyways, my main point is that being able to say "there's little or no difference between Obama and Romney" is an enormously privileged position.
