RFK Jr. accuses Biden and Trump of 'colluding' to exclude him from debates
He’s not wrong, the two main parties absolutely do collude to create a duopoly.
He’s also the wrong messenger to deliver the message.
It’s the network’s rule:
Kennedy has already hit CNN’s 15% polling threshold in two out of four qualifying polls. But the network also announced that participants must “appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency prior to the eligibility deadline.”
I think as a bare minimum requirement, being able to appear on the ballots of enough states to actually have a chance of winning makes perfect sense as a rule. With all the things to shit on the parties for, why make up a strawman?
