Cuz this is some real honeypot-lookin stuff right here and makes me question if they're deeply unserious about cybersecurity and protecting their members.

Idk why you'd think it was a honeypot. The feds definitely don't need you to put your info into a form to know that you're looking at PSL's website.
It's almost certainly because they have VAN or a similar database for their electoral work and they're trying to collect data for it as well as send you emails/texts. I'm not sure I agree with the efficacy of it but it's probably just electoral brain worms.
Tech illiteracy (not least the part that grows from ease-of-use of technology) is dangerous in these kinds of cases. Comrades, who might really know theory and lots of other stuff besides tech, will "log in with Facebook" on their Chrome browser signed in to their Google account using default DNS and no VPN and change their address from 123 High Street to 🤔 124 High Street and be convinced they have decent opsec. We've gotta address that where we can.
