I so wish I could register with a half decent 3rd party here in California, but they’re all complete jokes. California Independents nominated Trump in 2016, ffs. I can’t trust any of these idiotic political parties to not nominate HitlerBot 2000, some current or former celebrity, or a meme candidate.

3rd parties lack a nuanced political platform that differs from their contemporaries, and they also lack qualified and charismatic candidates to bring them out of obscurity.
