    You can thank the Biden camp for that. If they had proposed using the nonpartisan debate committee then by the rules and projected polling, they’d also have to put RFK Jr. on the stage. Frankly that is the last thing the Biden campaign wanted.

      While it’s good to see them finally do something that will actually help his chances of winning…

      I wish it wasn’t something so antidemocratic.

      RFK jr is a joke, but after the last three elections, D and R aren’t going to magically start running competent candidates next year. And giving the parties more power is the exact opposite of what we ne d to be doing
