      That’s way too high a requirement. I don’t like this guy but it’s essential we start getting more than two options each election

          Those are never taken seriously because they’re never in the debate, which for most of my life where people actually made their decision on who to vote for.

      It’s an arbitrary percentage they came up with in 2000. It should be lower, and it’s not like they stick closely to their own made up rules.

      Lowering the percentage would be another step toward breaking this ridiculous 2 party system.

          Hard disagree. He has the possibility to siphon off enough trump voters to maybe give Biden a way to win. We also didn’t have two 80 year olds on stage back then. The people deserve debate edit: this even if all we are allowed to add is someone with a starved-dead worm in their brain.

              There is no way he’s pulling anyone away from Biden lol Especially at this point considering Biden’s stance on Israel. AND yes, the society should see what state the “democracy” is in, it’s the only way for people to maybe get the hint that the current system is broken and needs to be fixed.
              Edit: if debates don’t have effect on outcomes, why would it even matter then? lol

      I don’t think there’s rules this year. The Commission on Presidential Debates isn’t organizing these debates.
