Who's going to qualify for the Democratic debates?

[YE]

I am going to go out of the limb and suggest that the less of a hierarchical structure there is to qualify for the debates, the better. Running for president is difficult enough as is. Are some lesser known candidates have some unorthodox ideas? Sure but let the voters decide for themselves on whether to tune in or not. Also if one thinks that pointing out that Trump isn’t qualified is an effective message rather than economic populism, 2016 proved otherwise.

I'd appreciate if the thread I'm typing in would remain the same for more than a week.

I intended to merge it when I first saw the thread and even apparently started the process, but must have drew a blank somewhere along the line, and never got around to it so I’ll take the fall here.
