this webpage allows you to view popular us-politicians as vectors in multidimensional space. each 'dimension' is a topic that they've both spoken about, and therefore can be assessed for the polarity of stance that they take. dimensions are selectable & represented live; stances are extracted from linked sources (wikiquote, ontheissues.org, the american presidency project); polarity or similarity is assessed by averaging analyses by two different popular large-language-models.
