The Green Party is not a far left party, though it's the biggest American Party that is unambiguously left (since the Democratic Party has a sizable, and still dominant though that is becoming less secure, center-right faction), so it's where slightly-pragmatic far left figures end up.
There are far left parties, but they do even worse than the Green's two state lower house seats and no more significant seats anywhere in the country, electing exactly no one to any even modestly significant office.

The Green Party is a far left US party.
With hardly any senior elected officials even at the municipal level. Like many fringe parties, it is just about big enough to qualify for public election financing but not to be competitive in any races that matter.
To go much further left, you have to enter Venezuela style Socialism. The GP openly advocates for changing essentially everything about the US political and economic system and shifting every area much further to the left ideologically (by much further, I mean it far surpasses what even "liberals" in Congress advocate for).
