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.

    Are you sure. I feel like leftist talking points and leftist figures are more popular with right wingers than people think. They just hate democrats. You don’t think the right’s base would be effective after 4 years of trump with another party there to vote for?

      Yes. It is absolutely certain. Ballot access legislation is controlled in each state by the two major parties.

      Wouldn’t their dislike for Democrats transfer over to any leftist party as well? The right’s propaganda machine will label them the same way.

      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.

          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.
