On the other hand, it's still just pissed-off protest talk. It's like the Republican budget alternative; long on complaints, long on platitudes and short on actual ideas.
And, honestly, that's how most such movements start. It's how moveon came to be. It's (lets be honest here) where the bulk of the anti-war crowd came from - people who were pissed off that Al Gore lost the 2000 election. It is, ultimately, why the Dems won Congress in 2006.
If you're looking for a full-blown political party with manifesto to spring fully formed for the brows of millions of pissed off centrists, it ain't gonna happen. Movements like this evolve. They start out rejectionist, and gravitate from there into a concrete set of representatives and policies and plans.
