The problem is, the Stormcloaks are basically the equivalent of a Dark Ages army while the Thalmor soldiers are what happens when Stormtroopers carry lightsabers and shoot lightning from their fingertips. Even if they were to fight the Summerset Isles alone, no Valenwood, no Elsweyr, the Stormcloaks will still lose. Badly.
