Why are there only 17 candidates listed in DU's

Candidate preference page? Are the other candidates not worthy of consideration?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Since then each candidate that joined the race was added to our list only when somebody specifically told us that they wanted to support that particular candidate on DU. The last time that happened was when Eric Swalwell joined the race.

However, as people keep asking why there aren’t 24 candidates in the list we may add the rest of them.

If you don't add all the candidates to the preference page, could you at least add him?

Thanks!
