50% of most countries are voting extremely conservative, and a big seperate chunk vote moderate. The appetite isn’t there among voters right now for liberalism ; let alone socialism.
That’s because liberalism isn’t a halfway point between socialism and conservatism it is, to misquote Stalin, fascism with a happy face sticker on it.
Most “western” countries’ governments have spent the last ~100 years waging outright war on socialism through coups, assassinations, imprisonments, and propaganda.
Political (and historical) education has been hacked away so much that most people couldn’t give a coherent definition of “socialism” anyway - and socialist policies poll extremely well if you short-circuit the propaganda by not mentioning the forbidden s-word.
The purpose of a party like PSL is to build a mass movement able to build socialism. It’s far beyond just voting every few years. Democracy happens when the masses are in motion, and that’s what PSL aims to achieve.
Why not?

Moderates and conservatives are both overwhelmingly liberals… Extremely unserious political understanding.
