Would everyone just make a video and people could watch the videos of who they liked best?

I’m guessing that would be like video dating except worse.

    Must be on the ballot in enough states to win the election.

    That’s going to automatically cut out 95% of them.

    Must be polling at least 3% in 3 statewide or national polls.

    That will leave you with:

    Harris
    Trump
    Stein
    Oliver

    Debates aren’t about “giving everyone a voice”, if you can’t become a viable candidate without a debate, the debates can’t help you.

      Ballot access is made very difficult by the duopoly. And, polls are basically fucked by bias.

      Many of the best hypothetical solutions are based on votes. But, all of them have prerequisite of RCV.

      For a more immediate solution, 5% of the GE POTUS vote puts an organization on every ballot in the next cycle. It’d be much more difficult to rationalize exclusion from debates when such a choice exists for everyone.
