it sucks that the other candidates don't get equal time and/or don't get to participate in the debates
i liked all 4 of the other candidates but johnson really stood out


I don't understand why they are excluded either. They would gain far more attention by being able to participate in debates. Most of the time they are the candidates that are the most down to Earth.

the only time i can remember that a third candidate had equal time was in 1991 when clinton and bush sr ran..ross perot ran as an independent and had equal time..and it because he was a billionaire and had enough money to compete with the other 2..

I videotaped his presentations. It was hysterical and historical but then someone permanently borrowed them. I think Perot is the reason alternative candidates are blackballed now. A LOT of people voted for him, most not expecting him to win but as a protest vote against the Dem/GOP stranglehold on politics. Ralph Nader ran for the Green party and got a lot of negative press from Dems about taking votes away from the only party with a chance of keeping the GOP from winning. He wasn't nearly as charismatic as Perot though. I did always wonder but never understood how Texans generally felt about Perot at the time.

A 48% to 50% popular vote difference is hardly landslide

I was being facetious  :notbad:

There were 4 other candidates. I voted for one of them.

Wait wait, so Kodos was actually an option?
Fuck Cork and all Cork related things
