I just read Bernie's tweet and my hopium is that there is at least a discussion going on about splitting the party. True leftists breaking off and forming a new party? I mean it will take years, decades even to build an election winning party but the time is surely right?? Am i crazy?

In a way it has been, but at the same time it would mean basically giving up opportunities at the national level due to our shit electoral system.

What opportunities do we have at the national level now. Any time someone who actually holds left beliefs, they’re sabotaged by the DNC. We have the illusion of a chance now. At least with our own party we could start taking local elections.

Exactly. The Democratic party is barely more than a friend to leftists than the GoP at this point if we're being completely honest.
