if they get 5% of the popular vote, they qualify for public campaign funding assistance which would aid in getting them into the larger platforms
or another way to put it
Wouldnt you want someone else on the stage to challenge both Hilary and Donald on their bullshit? Unless you are just blindly voting, i cant imagine that having more legit choices is a bad thing.
I would've LOVED to see Johnson AND Stein on stage, debating Hilary and Trump
The fact that the process is this convoluted speaks to the sham that it is. All candidates should be in one venue debating each other in front of the American people.
EXACTLY
but the media has to assume responsibility for this as well b/c they care about ratings too much
People really need to quit blaming the media. These motherfuckers wanted a white man in that seat and they got it. THe media always got to be the scapegoat for everything man. People were blaming the media when they thought Trump would lose, and now media is getting blame for him winning. You can't have it both ways. Man this guy did everything wrong but still won. People are talking about Clinton pandering... yeah it was fucking ridiculous, but we aren't talking about the pandering that Trump did. These redneck ass fools actually think that once Trump takes over, that all this "PC crap is over." Same people think Trump is going to somehow silence Black Lives Matter. If that ain't pandering I don't know what is. Them inbreds voted, a lot of us didn't. I'm not understanding people who either voted third party or write in being mad at Trump winning either. I literally have friends that trashed both Clinton and Trump before the votes came in, but are now on some "I'm afraid for the future" shit now. I'M like stfu.
who televises these debates fam?
What are you saying? How does this change anything I said?
the media IS responsible
just look at how Trump was able to just bully all the other candidates during the Republican debates. Why didnt they cut his mic off when he went over his time? Why didnt they cut his mic when he started hurling insults at people?
I'll tell you why...b/c they wanted the ratings and clicks from his fuckery
But how did that affect the election? People were ready to drop the Hilary was selected memes but Trump won. If anything this whole election was set up for Hilary to win if you want to bring the media into it. Big bad bully guy bashing the only true woman candidate for the presidency. People are trying to re write shit now that Trump actually won. So the media gets blame but the non voters ir the people who wrote in bullshit don't get blame? OK.
i think we talking at each other fam b/c i voted lol
