What about Chavez, Maduro, Morales, and Allende? All of them saw various degrees of reactionary pushback, but some reaction is inevitable. They're still examples of leftists who got into power through electoral politics (even if it wasn't only electoral politics).
the point is that in none of these instances is it, as you say, only electoral politics
obviously electoralism has its uses in creating vanguards, seizing a modicum of power with which to bankroll further change, raising awareness and solidarity and so on.
but the "exception" hasnt really occured, cause.. well.. no fascist has ever been removed solely through electoralism.
