It’s definitely an issue that’s not going away. The DNC really needs to figure it out and stop pretending that it doesn’t matter to voters.

it’s the threshold to get federal funding and access to the debates. it’s a really big deal.
Yeah, and how well did that work out for Jill Stein after 2016?
Pro-tip - it did nothing.
The debates are controlled jointly by the DNC and the RNC. They aren’t going to allow contrary opinions.
The only way this changes is if the Debates are taken away from the parties and turned back over to an independent organization like it used to be before 1988.
Even then, the League was only in charge from 1976 to 1987. Prior to their involvement there had not been a debate since Nixon/Kennedy in 1960(!)

The reason being, primarily, that anyone watching television saw Nixon as being a sweaty weasel who lost the debate, but anyone listening to radio assumed Nixon was a strong arguer who won the debate.

pro-tip, if you don’t know something, you can just not-speak about it.
I’ve only been actively engaged in politics since 1988… psssh, yeah, what do I know?
