If you would prefer a socialist party candidate the most logical choice is to pick whatever Democratic/Republican candidate is most willing to enact voting method reform, e.g. ranked choice voting.
Because voters are incentivized to pick one of two main parties in the current method, third parties are essentially guaranteed never to get off the ground.
PSL is a Marxist org, and thus revolutionary, and isn't trying to win the presidency but delegitimize the electoral system and advertise their platform.
The issue with voting reform is that it doesn't really work, anything allowed to pass is weak enough that it won't change anything.
