>I'm sorry - why is Yang entitled to a place in the conversation?

Overall, he isn't entitled to a place in the conversation, but omitting him from certain parts of the conversation seems very disingenuous.

For a real life example, if they show a list of "all" candidates on screen (including 7 that poll lower than Yang), but exclude Yang from that list, this is not cool at all (which is exactly what happened multiple times, as evidenced by the article the parent comment linked). Same goes for debates, where some candidates got a ton of questions asked, while Andrew got way fewer questions.
