Stein advocates have been upset over her exclusion from the main debates. According to Politico, "The bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates stipulates that a candidate must garner at least 15 percent in national polls in order to participate."

Stein's supporters have expressed disillusionment with mainstream candidates, while many environmentalists have grown frustrated over the "climate silence" permeating much of the campaign season.

15% percent in the polls that probably never mention third party candidates in their questioning. Ridiculous.

She's been in the Democracy Now extended debates where they intercut other candidate's responses to the debate questions. Guess that'll be on their show today. They were broadcasting from Hofstra.
