I get what you are saying.
I think the effect voting for PSL will have will vary from state to state and region to region.
If your state has a decent sized PSL presence I think it would make more sense to vote for the revolutionary party.
I voted for the Green Party in '16, I was so sure that with all the discontent they would get 5% and they didn't even come close.
I think it would be much more important to have the PSL get as many votes as they can in places with a large presence, as they do things outside the realm of electoral politics.
But couldn't the argument be made that voting for Greens is akin to the John Oliver->Breadtube->Anarchism/Marxism pipeline? Like Green gets the 5% and more exposure, is fucked out of the federal funding and all the fervent Green voting libs can more easily get radicalised into supporting and doing activism for PSL? Just spitballing here, dunno maybe it's dumb...

I think the reasoning is mostly for propaganda purposes even if it won't turn the PSL into a a huge nation-wide party overnight.
