It has to do with how political parties in the US are regulated through the election commissions. Voters register with political parties through the commission not the party itself. The commission is bipartisan to prevent a party from cheating its own voters. For example, the democratic party couldn’t just kick Bernie off the primary ballot despite him being independent his whole life.
At the same time this bipartisan election commission determines what other parties are allowed to have ballot line access and have little interest in breaking the doupoly.
The flip side to this is any Leninist pushing for a workers party has to come to terms with the fact that their workers party legally can’t practice Democratic Centralism if they want to have a ballot line party.
