I was in a group conversation with near-strangers recently and the topic of the US presidential election came up (we're in Norway, this was in Norwegian)

I mentioned that I voted, and they naturally asked me who I voted for. I said, "De la Cruz. Third party."

"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that?", one of them said, and the whole group looked at me a bit puzzled — so I reiterated, "De la Cruz, a third-party candidate."

"...Wait, there's a THIRD party?"
