He isn’t a party. He’s a candidate running as an independent. And he’s a symptom of the two party, FPTP system being screwed up.
I haven’t been keeping track of how he’s polling to debate him being “at the front of the queue”, because the two party FPTP system means he’s an also-ran as long as either party exists at all. And, also, there’s no way in hell any of the die hard democrats would throw their vote to him, nor would anyone that isn’t already going to among independents or swing voters.
What would happen if the democrats field a pointless candidate is a loss that puts trump in office. You might get some fleeing to vote green party, but that aren’t guaranteed blue votes are just going to stay home.

Agreed, but my point is that if you widen the field then candidates/parties you don’t like are more likely to appear before you get to your preferred left wing options.
