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.

Problem: there are two competing political parties.

Creates new political party

Yeah, with the current political system in the US there is simply no way to get a third party any real traction.

Abolish first past the post and the electoral college, then you will see (slow) change, as it stands now, FPTP will only serve to maintain this two party system.
