Given how radically wrong opinion polls turned out to be in 2016 its odd
they should still play such a key part in your political philosophy.

Those weren't the 3 states I was talking about. If 77,000  people in
Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania who voted for the Libertarian party
Mr. Nobody or the environmental
Green
 party Mr. Nobody had instead voted for Clinton we would not now have the
most anti-libertarian anti-environmental president in the history of the
nation.
