In reply to the discussion: This centrist, non-party-member is a more reliable supporter of Dems than are some progressives. [View all]snooper2

I would never go for these fringe groups but some folks are pretty far out there, maybe they are operatives
You have the Communist Party USA, (says 2000 members LOL)
The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) is a Marxist-Leninist political party in the United States,[2] and is the largest communist party in the country. Established in 1919, it has a long, complex history that is closely related to the histories of similar communist parties worldwide and the U.S. labor movement.

How about the Party for Socialism and Liberation?
GO MADURO
The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is a Marxist-Leninist political party in the United States,[2] created as the result of a split within the ranks of the Workers World Party (WWP).[3]
The PSL has two national offices in Washington, D.C. and in San Francisco, alongside 23 local branches across the country. In 2008, Gloria La Riva and Eugene Puryear ran for President and Vice President on the first PSL ticket. In November 2011, Peta Lindsay and Yari Osorio were announced as the PSL's presidential ticket in 2012.

Maybe The Modern Whig Party?
The Modern Whig Party is a United States political party whose stated intention is to be a "party for the rest of us."[1] The Modern Whig Party, founded by U.S. military veterans, describes itself as a mainstream, middle-of-the-road grassroots movement that caters to those voters who believe in various Republican causes but also believe in various other Democratic causes.[1][2]

Then we have these folks....HMMMMM.... (notice the last sentence)
Socialist Party USA
The Socialist Party USA (SPUSA) is a multi-tendency democratic-socialist party in the United States. The party states that it is the rightful continuation and successor to the tradition of the Socialist Party of America, which had lasted from 1901 to 1972.
The party is officially committed to left-wing democratic socialism. The Socialist Party USA, along with its predecessors, has received varying degrees of support when its candidates have competed against those from the Republican and Democratic parties. Some attribute this to the party having to compete with the financial dominance of the two major parties, as well as the limitations of the United States' legislatively[6][7] and judicially[8] entrenched two-party system. The Party supports third-party candidates, particularly socialists, and opposes the candidates of the two major parties.
