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.

short answer: the u.s. have a winner takes all voting system. splitting the left/liberal would ensure victory for the right.

Are you sure. I feel like leftist talking points and leftist figures are more popular with right wingers than people think. They just hate democrats. You don’t think the right’s base would be effective after 4 years of trump with another party there to vote for?

Wouldn't their dislike for Democrats transfer over to any leftist party as well? The right's propaganda machine will label them the same way.

They seem to like Bernie.

Yes. It is absolutely certain. Ballot access legislation is controlled in each state by the two major parties.
