Replacing institutions externally isn’t nearly as easy as rebuilding them internally.
A new party in a country where a vast majority votes along traditional family lines is not going to gain any momentum in the time frame that the US needs to correct course.
They’re a lot better rebuilding dems internally and keeping the existing external branding.
It’s the internet so here’s my uneducated and uninformed opinion: a more progressive offshoot of the Democratic Party external to it only makes sense if the Dems win a few elections on the trot. Otherwise it’s just going to be the same as cutting one’s nose to spite their own face.
The reason we have arrived here is because no one wants to do the hard work of MAKING a functional society. We all do JUST BARELY ENOUGH for it all to not fall apart, do everything the easiest way possible, never mind the results being shit.
Obviously it would be easier to reorganize the Dems. But it would be poisoned from the beginning.
