Imagine getting outflacked from the left by a normal green socdem when you call yourself a democratic “socialist”
I think if they get a certain amount then they’ll also be included in the presidential debates.
like most things in the us political system this is actually not formalized and afaik is just a handshake deal between the parties and the news networks that put on the debates.
