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.

There already are multiple leftist parties in the US. The Green Party is the main one, but there are others.

The issue is that they don't get much press coverage, and a lot of people use the argument that if leftists split off from the Democrats and divide, then the Republicans will win. That keeps a lot of people from voting for those parties.

Your greens are heavily compromised, if I’m not mistaken.
