For a few reasons.

  1. If you have no red line in the sand, then that gives the Dems free reign to do whatever they please.

  2. It helps boost PSL's platform, which is revolutionary, and therefore important to get new members

  3. If she gets more than 5% of the vote, then PSL gets better ballot access and public funding

  4. It helps delegitimize the electoral system.
