I still think using a single dimension for political beliefs is losing out on a lot of relevant information—I think our community is more diverse than implied by these results.
I agree that getting more fine-grained information about political views (as well as moral views, and bunch of other things) would be very interesting.
We could potentially include it in the interim Extra EA Survey we plan to run later this year, before running the next full survey next year, depending on space. As noted above, we’ve had to run the Politics and Diet questions on alternating years due to space constraints, and keeping the same question as previous years is a priority so we can see the broad changes over time.

Perhaps it would be interesting to run a one-time survey on the political beliefs in our community? (and how they compare to the general population)
(I think this should be done on the level of semi-abstract questions and not hot topic political issues)
