Speach is free in this country. You can get all the exposure you want. 15 % threshold is not that outrageous, if you can't get that much support, you are not winning and it defeats the point of the debate to have you there. Build support, and the rest will come. If you can't build support, then you are not getting elected, and there is no point in having you at the debate.
It is outrageous when from the beginning you are marginalized because the major media outlets know you won't be included in the presidential debates.
Voter ignorance prevents third party inclusion, the only way to get their inclusion is through mass media.
But you can't buy mass media without deep pockets or lots of donations.
Of all the things you can be reasonable about, this is not one.
