Is there a Pirate party in the US?

Ha, no, we don't have the kind of political system which would make such small parties useful. Anyone who isn't in one of the big two is essentially disenfranchised.

we don’t have the kind of political system YET...

Roughly 50 American voting jurisdictions — from small cities to states — have now moved to a ranked choice voting system, according to tracking by the advocacy group FairVote, and it's shaping up to be one of the political subplots of 2024.

Advocates say ranked choice voting could help take some of the toxicity out of American politics while giving voters access to a broader swath of ideas.
