    Oh, ok, cool. Then the Democratic and Republican parties have nothing to fear from her.

    So they should be fine with debating her and having her on the ballot. I mean, hey she’s “completely irrelevant,” right?

      Being completely irrelevant, there’s no reason to waste time debating her, but if she meets the criteria for either I don’t think anybody cares.

        So what is threshold do you think she, or ANY 3rd party candidate, needs to meet to be considered worthy of a debate? Serious question. Because her party is the 4th biggest political party in the US. Behind Libertarians.

          I don’t care about this. Until FPTP is eliminated, third parties are irrelevant.

            third parties are irrelevant.

            Then you have nothing to fear, nor do you have anything to be annoyed about, when it comes to the existence of 3rd parties and the voting for 3rd parties.
