Are the Green/Independent/Libertarian parties that are listed on the ballots allowed to attend the debates?
I don't want to turn this into a political discussion but since you asked...

The Commission on Presidential Debates invites candidates that have a reasonable chance of winning. In general candidates must poll at a certain level (5%+) in order to be considered for the debate. None of the other candidates have shown anywhere close to that level of support.
