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.
Ranked choice voting could help with this.
A couple of states do have ranked choice voting, but it definitely should be implemented for all.
A bit, but Star Voting is better in every way (except awareness).
