The hard part is getting people to run for office, getting funding for the campaign, organizing events and groups and managing staff to accomplish the goal of getting on the ballot and even then having a chance of winning is a bit of a long shot.
And worst of all, if you're less moderate than the adjacent party then you're going to split the vote of that party's constituents and lead to the opponent's party winning.
I don't disagree, but the hard part is how you become a serious political contender. The fact that they're unwilling to do so speaks volumes.
