Perhaps but it seems the strategy should be basically what the right of the Republican Party has done for the last few decades - absolutely flood every tiny local position, school board, and uncontested position with radicals.
They've proven that a strategy like that can work. The question is whether it can work for the left, in an environment where leftist candidates can't just get a few big-money checks and have all their campaign financing needs met (and where that does happen for their opponents). The ability to raise real money through small donations is promising, but it's still probably an uphill battle.

It is kind of fun to shoot the shit about, and when you're as jaded as most of us are, you don't get pissy and heated about people arguing with you.
It's how most of the country interacts with politics. It's a limited path, but it's still incredibly valuable if you want to build a popular movement.
