Admit Third Party Candidates To The Presidential Debates in 2016

The health of a democracy depends in part on the ability for each political view point to receive equal time and consideration. Our current debate structure reinforces the belief that there are only two valid choices in a given election, neither of which many Americans find satisfactory.Third party candidates face serious disadvantages in funding and, consequently, communicating their ideas to the elctorate. Primary debates featuring multiple candidates invalidate the idea that including more than two candidates wil complicate the debate process.Americans shouldnt have to choose between the lesser of two evils. There is no valid reason to exclude third party candidates from the presidential debates and doing so only offers the two major parties yet another unfair advantage.
