It's not bullshit. Under our present electoral system, your vote will have the same effect as if you had stayed home. If you don't like that, work to change the electoral system. See FairVote.org.

Put me down for the party representing the middle class and the working poor. Non-racist, non-sexist, non homo-phoebe. Abortion is between you and God. Murder is between you and society. A constitutional amendment to remove special interests from politics. War as a last resort.
Off the top of me head.

Anarchy is fine as long as it's regulated and well-organized.

How is that a political issue?
Lactation is a huge political issue. For many this is a "hot button" issue that drives people to the polls, protests and political action.
I suppose you are anti-lactation. Typical. Try to paint the pro-lactation crowd as dogmatic and unreasonable.
It ain't going to work!
This is a whoosh, right? Breast-feeding in public is a very minor issue; lactation as such never has been.
Let off on the drag some, play this one out fully. I've got the net ready, although for this one we might need the gaff.

No one mentioned breast-feeding in public but by going there you know it will escalate splitting up the debate into very predictable sides.
Being pro-lactation is much more than just the public feedings debate.
However, though passionate I am not a one-issue voter nor politically active individual. Beyond lactation, immigration and the militar-industrial complex there are other issues - like interstate speed limits, cocoa food additives and marriage rights for multiple partners - that make it difficult [impossible] for me to find a political party.
I don't think your portrayal of all the political parties is very good...your description of the Greens is pretty lacking, yes there is an environmental portion but they are also for government reform and a host of other things. If you're going to list parties, it would be best to not be biased towards certain ones when trying to come off as informative instead of coercive..
Then you want the Working Families Party. Well, just think of the WFP as a general place-holder for all non-Green American politics to the left of Obama, Clinton, and the neoliberal Democratic Leadership Council. I named it because it's the most active social-democratic/left-progressive party in the field at present -- though active in only eight states (New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Oregon). It's an institutional successor, more or less, to the New Party of the 1990s. See also the Vermont Progressive Party, if you live there.
On Politics1.com, you can read about all the national-level third parties currently active or semi-active (some existing only as websites, apparently) in the U.S. The Libertarians, Greens, and Constitution Party are the "Big Three."

Well, that's why I included links to the Wiki articles for all but the Dems and the Pubs (presuming everybody already knows about those); and if the Wiki article doesn't satisfy, it includes a link to the party's own website.
If you want more about the Green Party of the United States: First of all, it is not the older and much-further-leftier and much-smaller Greens/Green Party USA (fucking splitters!). The Green Party of the United States has the following ideology:
Mostly appealing to me, but I stick at the "decentralization" part. Better Hamilton than Jefferson; a lot of national problems require national solutions.
Anarchists do not recognize borders.
But some do seem to think an anarchist society would somehow spontaneously organize itself.
Sure, the Constitution Party.
Hm. Can't believe there's only one vote so far for the Republicans. And 11 for the Libertarians . . . well, it has been my experience generally that the Libertarians are much better represented on the Intertubes than among the general voting population. Even here, however, I'm really suprised that the Greens are outpolling the Dems.
See the Constitution Party.
