The Issue
The two party system has created a dynamic where Black people are a captured electorate of the Democratic Party and has empowered a centrist core of the party to block policies that would empower our community. This has made progressive policies that should be easy to move through the legislature extremely difficult to pass (ie police accountability, pre trial reform, sentencing reform, youth justice reform, reparations, medicare for all etc). In order to raise more awareness and momentum for 3rd party candidates every nominee of a party that appears on the general election ballot should be given the opportunity to participate in every general election candidate debate that is hosted by the Maryland Public Broadcasting Commission.
