To be honest, if I spoil anyone it's the Republicans, but whatever.

America was already spoiled. If you don't me asking, Green Party, Libertarian, or something else?

I voted for Rocky De La Fuente, who was the Alliance Party's nominee, though he appeared on the ballot as an Independent (because my state only allows party labels for state-registered parties).

He was also the Reform Party's nominee, and since it's the largest party to nominate him, perhaps you could consider that his true party.

He was also nominated by the Natural Law Party — and even the American Independent Party for some reason. All the other parties make sense, but not the far-right AIP, which he mostly disagrees with.

Good gravy! I didn't know about half of those parties. I like the sounds of the Natural Law Party.

Any protest vote is a good vote, regardless of which party until they get more widely accepted and potentially "serious".

I've never really looked into the NLP. I skimmed over their platform present on their ugly website (sorry, lol) and it seems somewhat centrist. Maybe it leans one way or another, but I didn't read the whole thing.

I haven't yet looked, nor know anything about the party, but I'm a huge fan of Natural Law and anarchism/voluntarism. It would make sense for them to be centrist and anti-authoritarian. I'd guess that's why they're repressed and underfunded.

Probably. They do seem to be center-Libertarian. Anarchism isn't my thing — but I do think the federal government has gone too far, so I'm more of a State's Rights type.

Anarchism is the impractical idealistic goal that will never be reached - but it doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying.

Realistically I'm a minarchist. Government is always expanding. I'd love to see someone simply stand for shrinking it somewhat. Start anywhere. I'll wait.

Also, once you remove ALL government there's no one to stop a new one from starting up. They may start as a gang, a mob, or mafia, but before long they'll rule like any government. That's why minarchism seems practical. Perhaps even overlapping minarchies that peaceably challenge each other and have different decentralized systems. I can dream.

Ah. I prefer to simply decentralize the government.

That's the other half of the solution. Smaller and spread out makes thin ice less problematic.
