I thought third party candidates got in if they are polling high enough?
Granted we run into chicken-egg problems with that, but if there were someone on the level of a Ross Perot or (heaven forbid) a Strom Thurmond on board this time around, i would think there would be no issue getting equal billing. |
They require 15% on three national polls. The problem is, the candidates were never included in the national polls. It's apparently obvious that this was planned from the get-go, the same thing happened with Johnson in the GOP debates... you needed a certain percent to get in to the debates, but Johnson was never included in the polls... as such, he only ever ended up in 2 of all those debates that happened.
It's a rigged game.

That suggests to me that the people to target with these grassroots protests would be companies like Gallup or Reuters, or the major media outlets. Get broader polling, and you would have free advertising for some of these third-party guys.
