Green parties do pretty well in civilised countries. 'Libertarianism' is indefinable and generally confined to greedy fat bloated white fascist males. Ask a 'libertarian' to define it and they will scream 'FREEDOM', like Mel Gibson in Braveheart.

Sigh... Shortsightedness is the height of stupidity. Social change is very slow moving. One can want to run and not expect to win. They can smartly do so, solely as a means to begin changing the narrative...

Hehehehehehee.... you'll never reach Spanish level.
the "feminist party"
the "animalist party"
the "antitobacco party"
the "sports party"
the (yes) "null vote party"
the "marihuana legalization party"
and the list goes on.

They don't have a prayer of ever winning because of sheep like you who keep voting for the polarizing, two-party system. The Democrats and Republicans are the stupidest parties. Both are hypocritical in their stances and turn their constituents into hypocrites who simply regurgitate the party's talking points. One party scream "Freedom!" when it comes to free speech - that is until you say something they don't like. The other party screams "Freedom!" when it comes to your freedom from the govt. intrusion into your wallet, yet can't keep itself from intruding into your living room and bedroom.

Both parties simply exist to put blame on the other. They rile up their base and label the opposition as an enemy of the state itself. The hateful language on both sides turns us against each other rather than against the imposing govt. that keeps taking away our freedoms, one by one, while we sit and argue amongst ourselves. Divide and conquer is the name of the game and you, and others like you, keep falling into the same trap, like iguanas in a pool.

Please, the only candidate I have ever voted for was Champagne Sherry for Homecoming Queen, which led to the modus operandi of the theoretical American Energy Party (AEP).
