If Gabbard is boycotting the debate, it may be because she's feeling like her campaign isn't getting the traction she wants and is considering ending it soon, and wants to do this to send a final message. She's already attended what will likely be the most watched debates and criticized the views of the party's war hawks, so she may feel that the biggest thing left for her to do is to criticize the primay's format itself, which she might feel she can do most effectively this way. Just my thoughts on why she might be choosing this strategy.
