Unless you change how elections work and how politics are funded a new party in the US will always be dead on arrival.

A Bernie - AOC party would face immense hurdles as they lack the infrastructure and the funds the Democratic party has in place. On top of that corporate and oligarchic interests would all make sure to put in enough funding to ensure they will fail.

I love the energy but you have to be realistic. Their best bet would probably be to reform the Democratic Party from the inside.

It either happens in the mid-terms or never. If progressives win big, you have a chance of changing DNC leadership.
