That's the most unattractive framing I've ever seen. Framing it that way is more likely to push people away than to get them doing it, even comrades.
Five percent.
I mean if you want to get excited over electoralism, go ahead - I'm in a dead end demsoc party and if you expect huge gains and communism in 5 years because you're Harry DuBois and you're gonna fix the malaise of the left, you're just gonna get yourself burnt out.
It's not a matter of expecting it comrade. It's a matter of pursuing it. You're far more likely to make a goal of 0.25% (or more) by shooting for 5% than you are by shooting for 0.25%. You try selling that shit to someone, they'll laugh at you.
The target must be attractive if you're going to draw anyone in that isn't already a marxist leninist, and PSL's name and modernised style is uniquely suited to casting a wider net than most ML parties are capable of.
