There already are multiple leftist parties in the US. The Green Party is the main one, but there are others.
The issue is that they don't get much press coverage, and a lot of people use the argument that if leftists split off from the Democrats and divide, then the Republicans will win. That keeps a lot of people from voting for those parties.
The Green Party is not leftist.
What is your reasoning for this? According to their very own website, they support a lot of common leftist talking points.
From their Wikipedia page:
Are you confusing what parties claim with what they actually believe and will actually do?
