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.

You can't get more than 50% of popular support without compromise. The people who hate the democratic party to the point they'd rather organise a new party are A: too few and B: bad at compromising

But if you believe in it go for it.

Just make sure that you give up and endorse the democrats if you're polling lower than 50%, or you'll be an effective supporter of Trump

Nah, I don’t agree with. Just wondering why they don’t.
