Because it is

No it wasn't, and stop assuming things.

Because it is. Impossibilism was something Marx himself also hated, and he rebutted the anarchists on it in particular. Some form of participation is always going to be useful.

Because as long as the political arena is parliamentary electoral participation is a great way to shill your party to workers, to demonstrate the numerical strength of the workers movement to workers who may not yet be on board and to provide a sharp contrast to the bourgeois parties encouraging a further class polarisation/overt class struggle in society. Parliamentary representation also gives you another podium from which to agitate the masses.
