How about an Independent/unaffiliated flair? My ideals don't fit well within any one party these days.

      I generally affiliate with the Reform Party, and sometimes the Prohibition Party. The American Solidarity Party should be on the list too.

      I don't know about adding flairs for socialist parties, since there's a lot of them in the US and they never get enough votes to be relevant. Maybe you could just have a general socialist flair; on that note: some people would prefer ideological flairs rather than party flairs.

        The Reform Party uses purple (maybe use #E6B2FF), the Prohibition Party uses pink (#FF00FF), and the ASP uses orange (#CC5F00).

          Agreed.

            PPC = People's Party of Canada (first time I may ever vote for anything right of center) and Pirate Party of Canada - BOTH happen to use purple, so #700088 seems good to me.

            Thanks

              I'm guessing you researched and those are more accurate colours. Thanks for taking the trouble. I liked the ambiguity of PPC and inverse of the CCP, but no worries. I'm also sorry to disappoint you...

              If it's possible I'd like to be a Voluntaryist. (There's a difference between voluntarist and voluntaryist, but they can be almost synonymous to most people. I post in the former because it was a sub first, but technically the latter is preferred and more accurate.) I don't know if you can do a split icon yellow/black, but that's what the Voluntaryist Flag is.

              Voluntaryist is a better description than anarchist that has centuries of propaganda baggage attached.

              Also, IMO, you should consider removing "Party" from all of them. Voluntaryism doesn't have a party to my knowledge.

              If you really want to impress me, you can find a darker background colour for all the flairs with a lighter font so that it's not so obnoxious in night mode. Of course the day dwellers may complain, but meh. I believe they made SaidIt night mode the default, but that was years ago and may no longer be the case.

                Can you add "Dissident Right" flair? Or maybe NJP

                  Thanks. Fine to me, not sure if they have a color or not

                  Free choice of naming?
                  There are more nations here.
                  And within the parties there are many fractions.

                    What is a real party?
                    And why no other countries?

                      How do I get this flair?

                      Thank you!

                      who was it that wrote something along the lines of the greatest fraud upon the American people is the two party political system?

                      Might as well have only the active US parties. Otherwise, I propose:

                      Church of the Militant Elvis Party

                      Fancy Dress Party

                      Raving Loony Green Giant Party

                      Rock 'n' Roll Loony Party

                      Official Monster Raving Loony Party
