We should shoot for bigger, and all of it.

Bernie, alone cannot do that. For structural change to occur, it must first start in the party. Bernie, or anybody else, cannot do this alone, there must be a political force behind that person.

So down ticket races are important. Local elections are even more important. Change the small seats and we'll change the world.
