Well I'm pretty sure they are more about being on the ground organizing people, not just getting some message across to the public. Especially with the fact that they basically wouldn't be allowed to be elected and all the media would talk about is how they're "evil dictator-worshipers" or something. Although it would be amazing if they got national attention even for a brief moment from some idiot Republicans by having someone actually elected say cool things to the press.
Frankly I'm not impressed by too many chapters of PSL or the Green Party. If that's what organizing is it's kind of a failed project. Local politicians can wield serious power.
I think you're probably underestimating the effort it takes to elect a Marxist-Leninist to public office in the United States and overestimating the effectiveness of that use of time for that purpose.
