Answer 2

There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of political parties in the United States. Now if you're asking how many do people pay any attention to, then it's only Repulicans and Democrats, I'm afraid.

Answer 3

Go to this site, scroll down about 1/3 of the way. The list starts there and goes on far a long time. We have a lot of minor parties in the US.

Democratic
and at least 205 other parties who the
majority of the time don't make the ballot
