It should be noted that the strategy of "Progressives challenging and focusing on downballot races" has borne a lot of fruit. The DSA, for example, controls 1/10 of the Chicago aldermen, a good amount of state representatives and senators, and even two additional house members in the form of AOC and Tliab.
Getting Sanders to the top of the ticket likely would have caused such a change to occur faster, but these kind of victories do help to grow a bench that can run for office and continue the leftward movement in the Democratic Party.
