Why don't Leftist just create their own political party? (lemmy.world)

Straight forward question. If leftist hate the Democratic Party so much, why don’t they all come together and create their own party. Have their own primaries, campaigns, candidates, etc.

But who is this Dems voting base? Are they mostly liberal? If so, they wouldn’t go anywhere else anyways. But I feel like they’ll be a lot of disenfranchised MAGA voters by 2028, that would be willing to support anything other than the democrats.

Right wing media would immediately jump on promoting the alternate party as horrible communist socialist liberal whatever other words they like to use to scare an anger their base, and the net result would be the same.
