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.

America went through huge population shifts, and changes of economy the last two generations which was much greater than the original Industrial Revolution in the 1700s.

It sort of broke the neighborhoods being sociable places, destroyed grassroot movements, and prevented new parties from developing.

Politics that is new, these are created in the communities and transition from the local to regional so to national.

New parties cannot be developed on the internet.
