Good for you. Maybe with your help, she'll equal the 4 million votes Johnson got in 2016.
And they won't break 5%, so they have access to EEC money, until they put 3rd parties before question #7 in the polls either.
Until the Rico non-sense ends, ones that allow them to keep polls that put 3rd parties in after most people hangup, and see media outlets like CNN to drop entire ages or demographics when they favor 3rd parry candidates, nothing will change.
I mean, even when the courts rule against the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), like it did in 2017, the government will just ignore the courts, and re-instate the control of organizations like the CPD, like the EEC did in 2019. The CPD has been repeatedly ruled to be a bi-partisan organization, and not non-partisan by the courts, and cannot be considered a non-profit organization, and must register as a PAC, even pay taxes.
And why does this happen? Because if a 3rd party candidate is in the debates, they get 3x as many votes as what they were polling at prior. If a 3rd party candidate doesn't make it into the debates, they get 1/3rd. That's why Perot went from just over 7% to 20%. And Johnson went from nearly 12% to under 4%.
In fact, the 15% rule are double Perot's polling numbers. That was by design. The courts have repeatedly cited this against the CPD, especially since they don't deny they took Perot's debate-time polling numbers and doubled it, and the EEC always ignores the court's orders.
That's why we don't have choice. People should stay on the phone and tell the pollsters they want a 3rd party in the debates. They don't have to vote 3rd party, just answer that way in the polls so they are in the debates. Of course, even when they do break 15%, like Gary Johnson did in 2016 ... CNN can just leave out everyone age 18-29, like they did when Johnson broke 30% in that age group, and 15% overall, so he dropped to 12% overall.
Just like CNN changed '3rd party' (live question) to 'undecided' (on screen) during the Town Hall too.
Heck, CNN left Gary Johnson out of the 2nd GOP primary debate in 2012, even though he was in the top 5, and higher than 3 other candidates who were invited. Why? While the GOP couldn't change the rules, they could ask CNN to leave him out. They didn't want him in the New Mexico primary in 1998 either, but back then the GOP didn't have CNN to tell to leave him out of the GOP debates.
