Because, to my eyes, all these early polls do is breed is more room for infighting. From lots of different angles, when their headline is tailored to be exploitive by candidate sympathetic sources.

Example: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=20399

Some people need to stop and ask themselves what good they actually think they're doing? To my eyes, these games are useless, petty and extremely repetitive. I'm not interested in a redux of 2016. That experience broke me and I learned lessons I'll never forget.

Me, all I care about is getting Trump out of office and a Dem elected. All this other distraction is seriously just a PITA and a turn off to me.

I'm bored with all these games already from all angles. However, since it has potential to be destructive again I'm scared not to address it this cycle. My local Democratic women's club have all said we're going to take a stand this cycle against the division. So, here I am. Taking a stand and using my voice.

In a perfect world, I'd have a lot more respect if people stopped playing "gotcha" and just focused on what they find positive about their candidates and actually mentioned what's at stake if we lose this election.

Life isn't perfect. We all get that, we're all watching Democracy devolve on a global level daily at an alarming rate.

In this extremely less than perfect world we live in, all this does is turn me off and it reinforces other's prejudices.

Extremely bored with all this,
Cats
