I Looked-up 'Third Parties,' thinking I'd only find 3 or 4; but ... really? All these?

You know America's politics run mostly on a two-party system---currently known as Democrats & Republicans. (In my State, I think you can also register as Libertarian; if you don't register as Independent/No-Party.)
And your party is important because (at least in my State) you can only vote in the Primaries of the party you register-with (although I think my State's Democratic Party also lets Libertarians & Ind./NPs vote in their Primaries).
I think the General Election is when these Third Parties' candidates have 'a shot' (a smaller chance than 'being struck by lightning').

Like the Nazi Party, it's probably based on 'the original meaning of the word' and not -on the popular reputation it gets in the Media.

@MALUSE Maybe, but that is not "the meaning of the word"; it's like the Cross---it's an execution-device, and--if you didn't know the story behind it--most Christians' homes would look fairly sick (like they were obsessed with early Roman execution)!q

@mythociate What would be 'the original meaning of the word'? National Socialism, or Nationalsozialismus are terms which will forever be associated with the Third Reich in Germany and it is naive to claim that the terms are innocent.

BillyJoe (below) directs us to a Wikipedia page that probably lists all of them.

They're not Hitler's Nazi Party (who ran the Jewish internment camps of The Holocaust ... I was born in 1981, so WWII is sort of 'mythological' to me 
).
The American Nazi Party--on their face--is more like "Whites' reaction to minorities' overreaction in their fight against racism."
Still, 'that name' made me think the only way I'd go to their site was "on a 'Private' browser."
Their introduction asks, "Are you tired of being blamed for all the world’s problems – simply because you are White?"
They DO use the original name of the party---National Socialism, or Nationalsozialismus.
