I think that all partys should be represented on the ballot. I don't care that some people have bought into the lie that a vote for one person takes away from another. This is supposed to be a representative democracy. If not all of the possible representatives are recognised, we cease to have our control as civilians. A choice between two people is much different than a choice between 5 or 6. Who decided that 15% of the popular vote was the rule for the debates? Who would it have hurt to include the Libratarian and Green candidates?
I guess my faith in politics is seriously missplaced.
