There's a newish party for that. See the forward party.

It is an extremely prevalent delusion to think that we can only choose from the 2 parties nominees for president or any other office. But it is a very convenient delusion for party insiders and elites of DC that neither party is interested in dismantling.

That is not to say we shouldn't be strategic in our votes. That means voting for the best(This is highly subjective and will usually come down to the lesser evil) candidate there is for a given race. Because it is also a delusion to think that everyone will suddenly realize they don't have to vote for either party and elect a different candidate. Especially when other candidates aren't really much better than the party candidates.
