So, perhaps we should think about setting up an entire network devoted to our most important right as Americans (our right to vote). The Electorate's Channel could be broadcasted on a standard UHF or VHF channel. This 'public service' could be administered by local/regional/national volunteers, academic leaders and students. It wouldn't need to be on-the-air year around, only during primary and general elections. The bottom line for me is this; What we currently have is corrupt and doesn't work. We cannot rely on the problem (two party system) reforming itself. As Americans we must put our heads together and come up with a process that is administered fairly without bias or discrimination. All voices should be heard in a true democratic electoral system. Who gets into the debates? Perhaps anyone who pulls 5% or better from the primary election. Commissions are mere puppets for the status quo. The FCC, FEC and, Presidential Debate Commissions need to be accountable to the public at large.
