2020 Democrat compares DNC to Thanos over stricter debate qualifications

2020 presidential long shot John Delaney compared the Democratic National Committee’s stricter requirements to qualify for presidential debates to Thanos, the main villain in the Marvel movie series.

Candidates were required to have at least 130,000 individual donors and at least 2% in four DNC-approved primary polls in order to qualify for September’s debate. The deadline is Wednesday. Barring any surprises, ten candidates will be on the stage, which means ten participants from last month’s debates will be left out and Delaney is one of them. Both of the requirements for the upcoming debate are twice that of the previous debates.
