Do you happen to have a link of elected offices they currently hold? And assuming that they actually hold any significant number. Wouldn’t the most obvious next step be to move on to neighboring communities and try to repeat that success there. Actually building up a base of support before automatically jumping into National politics. State level House and Senate. Then state federal Senate and House. And then after they actually have a base of support go for something like the presidency?

No, I am not in the area, and like I said, they are not on my ballot.

Sure, I am not arguing against that. I am simply stating that they are not just a “oh let’s run for pres every 4 years, but do nothing else” party. They are very active in their local areas and trying to make positive change.
As for their success, I’m assuming not that great. But every third party struggles because of the current duopoly advantages. Does that mean the should just give up tho?
Third parties often face systemic barriers that make building a base at the local and state levels challenging, but that doesn’t invalidate the importance of running in national elections to push important issues into the mainstream conversation.
Focusing solely on local and state offices may be ideal, but in a political landscape dominated by two parties, national campaigns help raise awareness and rally support for future growth. And shift the narrative, which is a crucial part of building long-term success.
