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.

    They’d be handing the extremists on the right an easier win. They need enough energy to grab the Democratic party by the balls.

    Basically, you need a voting system that goes “choice number one: Bernie, choice number two: Kamala” etc. At that point, go nuts.

      The easiest switch is Approval Voting, which every tabulation machine in America can handle right now without any issue. Plus, it’s very easy to adapt to Sequential Proportional Approval Voting, and proportional representation is the thing that will actually break up the two party system.
