I hear you but I think the party's goal is still sustained growth which may at some point enable state chapters to start running serious local campaigns. I'm not a member however though I plan to begin the process once I'm back in the states next year.
However some of our other comrades who do work with them have said that there is not much money spent on the campaigns, there is just the volunteer time to get the signatures and of course whatever events Claudia and Karina partake in (but these double as general socialist agit prop so I'm sure you'd agree they aren't a waste of time either). I'll agree though that the rhetoric could use a little tweaking because "we now have a path to over 270 electoral college votes" probably seems like a delusionally optimistic statement to many from the outside. But that's small change in the grand scheme of the party's goals and activities.
Let's hope that at some point we can start getting socialists on county boards of supervisors' and fuck up landlord's lives on a direct level.
