SPD

I don't know enough about any of the parties to say really. Based solely on the names I would guess CDU, CSU, or FDP would line up closest to my beliefs.

I don't think so.

You describe yourself as slightly liberal in US terms, I guess you'd be more likely an SPD/Green/FDP/FW voter there.

CDU/CSU are more Kasich-, Hogan-, Romney-, Baker-style Republican parties.

I do not understand American politics, let alone German politics.

But I would vote for any German party that wanted to set a reasonable limit to the number of ladies & gentlemen entering from other countries.

If any lady or gentleman entered without permission, I would like the German government to gently and humanely assist him/her to return to his/her homeland (along with a generous financial incentive).

 

[Rumpel]

My party is not listed - it is the ÖDP.

You're looking for the fascist party, AFD.

Germany + fascism. What could possibly go wrong.

@ ÖDP

The Ö does not stand for Österreich (Austria), as some think.
But for Ökologisch "Ecological".

@ Ecological Democratic Party

More about this party:

The Ecological Democratic Party (German: Ökologisch-Demokratische Partei, ÖDP) is a conservative[4][5][6] and ecologist[7] political party in Germany. The ÖDP was founded in 1982 as a federal party and is the legal successor of the Green Action Future (Grüne Aktion Zukunft), the Green List for Environmental Protection (Grüne Liste Umweltschutz) and the Ecological Politics Working Group (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Ökologische Politik).[8][third-party source needed]

The strongest level of voting support for the ÖDP is in Bavaria, where in federal state elections they have remained stable with 2% of the votes since 1990, and at municipal level have increased their mandate count in 2014 from 320 to around 380.[9][third-party source needed] After the 2019 European elections, the party was represented in the European Parliament by Klaus Buchner, who resigned in 2020. He was replaced in the European Parliament by Manuela Ripa. The ÖDP is a member of the World Ecological Parties.

Depends on the state and race.

Most states only have D+R plus maybe Green+Libertarian and a few others on it.

Some states have more than 20 or so.

Some states have only D+R.

I don’t think any state has as much as 54 parties on the ballot though.

Anything not fascist and not going backwards would get my vote.

The question was "How many would be 'officially allowed' to be on the ballot?" and whether that would be more or less than 54.

At present the Greens have some problems with their top candidate:

The Greens are slipping in the polls, as the party's top candidate has had to correct her curriculum vitae, acknowledge a delay in reporting additional income and battle plagiarism allegations.
