I learned my lesson twice back in 2016....

The day before Brexit I predicted that it would be a nothing burger.

Then in november, I predicted that Hillary would win, because Trump was obviously shit.

I have stopped predicting elections now...

Then 2016 happened.

Clinton lost because Jamey Comey (Director FBI) publicly reopened her email investigation 3-weeks before election day. It was a huge deal that everyone seems to have forgotten. The polls were right up until then.
