Because the people doing the predictions need to be taken out back and beaten with a pillowcase full of nickels.

Polling is broken and the chattering class has utterly lost touch. People point to the 2016 elections and say "look how much they learned" and try something vaguely different and eat just as much shit as before.

Uncertainty has returned to political outcomes, but it's due to opacity of the electorate rather than chicanery of the process.
