An ignorant assumption that ones belief on this is based on "fear".
Debate times are limited. The american public's attention span is generally low. And we already have a massively underengaged voting base as is. Diluting an hour and a half debate by adding, lets say 3, additional voices to it...when those voices are found to be more attractive to less than 1% of the American public...could be viewed as doing a disservice to the political process and the American People. A person could believe that they don't need to be added to the debate because it would be a detriment to the political process rather than "fear". But because you have an agenda, you immedietely leap to demonize your opponent.
Your response here sounds more like a problem with the public, than with more ideas participating.
Yes I do demonize my opponent, because the standards for entry are inflated to prevent entry.
Supporting that is wrong, imo.
