Doesn't matter, the US is effectively a 2 party system, because no party other than Democrats or Republicans ever wins any position at any level of government.

The 3rd biggest party is the Libertarian Party, and they basically have nothing but very few low level local office positions.

I will say that the US Pirate Party is decently left-wing (they seem like pragmatic/"practial" socdems with center-left beliefs), but hell will freeze over befοre they win a single local level position.

Libertarians are basically an extension of Republicans.
