"Alternative Party" Debates

It is funny that even the "alternative" debates silence many voices. Of the alternative parties invited to attend, none sought vastly different economic policies than the candidates of the two major parties. None were representatives of people and communities of color. None stood up for First Nation's rights nor for equitable laws and courts. None held survivors of domestic violence close to their heart, nor the plight of homeless youth and adults. I don't see anything new or different - just the adoption of easily swallowed fads.
