    You seem to be leaving out a number of candidates with serious campaigns. What about Mark Charles (Independent), Jerome Segal (Bread and Roses Party, Jade Simmons (Independent)?

      Trump and Biden aint showing up at this too, which isnt surprising because they know theyll get destroyed if they show up to a debate that isnt linear between A or B only.
