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.

While correct, Republicans are stupid. I don't mean that to be mean, they are, at best, low information and deeply disengaged with something they have very strong feelings about. They vote based on vague vibes instead of anything sensible. A rich leftist might be able to save the next generation, but the current Republicans are completely lost.

Irrelevant side note: irony is absolutely my favourite thing in life.

A rich leftist ...

No such thing.

Damn, I got downvoted into oblivion. I guess the left dosent want right wingers in their tent, lol.

Why would they? Working class rural voters who've been propagandized into voting Republican is one thing, but actual right wingers? Right wing ideology is fundamentally incompatible with left wing ideology.
