I'm looking through the third parties for someone to vote for, and I'm wondering which one would most closely align with the beautiful world of Catholic social teaching. Pro-life is a must, and upholding the Constitution is a necessary step to ensuring some form of guidance on the government today. Normally, the constitution hardly even seems to be mentioned, and it's often apart to defend certain positions if it is.
From my limited research, the Constitution Party seems to be a good choice, though I start this thread for sake of finding people who may know of something better. There are a few issues I disagree with on this, and a few more that I'm just plain uninformed on (Lord willing, I'll be able to tell the difference). What I'm attaching is the party platform for the Constitution Party; I appreciate how much they go into detail on the thoughts of the Founding Fathers who wrote this, to support a more intelligent & less subjective manner of interpretation.

I appreciate that people sometimes share Catholic guides to voting, but they rarely include any practical information. I know a lot of issues that I should vote on, but rarely do they include how the ideas work with the Constitution, or what candidates & parties most closely align with these values. Please restrict your responses to specific candidates or parties, as I have enough of the abstract knowledge already.
Thank you for your time, and may we remember how God was still present in the kingdoms of the Old Testament; regardless of the leader's quality or lack thereof, we can still pray, worship, love, and be with our undefeatable God! I just want to make a good decision with my vote, I doubt that either Trump or Biden actually are good decisions, and I would appreciate help in being informed. Thank you!
