The Presidential debates are meant to be a showcase of the Democratic and Republican nominees, so other parties are systematically shut out. But CNN recently decided to give some air time to two other Presidential nominees, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, to talk about the things that won’t be talked about in the “main” debates, like marijuana legalization.

As independent media and the internet become more powerful, the Dem-GOP debates will have less influence. More people will be able to see that voters do have a choice beyond the Democrats and Republicans, and that they can’t vote for someone who more closely resembles how they feel about things.
