 Old enough to remember how accurate polls are  https://i.nostr.build/3T4MTZ4ViSpanVSM.jpg 
 Polls are vote herding mechanism for the smooth-brained 
 It’s mind blowing that people are so hung up on them again 
 Hillary sure as hell believed them... Her meltdown marked the beginning of an era. I'm still waiting to see her in chains. 

What she did in Haiti is unconscionable.  
 No pollster ever reached me ..  
 Don't forget that Hilary was herself also an election outcome denier after the 2016 election. That fact got memory-holed. 
 They slipped up by being fooled by their own propaganda. "Fixed" in 2020 
 I think the polls being so sure of the winner was one of the drivers behind people who would have voted for Hillary staying home, since "it was a sure thing".

I had a coworker at the time who didn't vote for this exact reason. A few days later he was posting selfies from a "not my president" demonstration 😆
