Starting a new party is going to require current elected Democrats to leave the party and start a new one. It probably can't be done by just "lots of people" and has to be done with people who have serious clout.

Why would people who have power and wealth under the current system try to change it?

Well supposedly some of them are "progressives" and want to actually enact progressive change in politics.
