When I see people arguing that we have to accept....

66. No, it has power because it can buy advertising, GOTV, etc.

If raising money wasn't important in winning campaigns, then politicians wouldn't bother spending so much time doing it.

Also, pretty much every sentence in your post is wrong.

--Hillary isn't raising money from "the ones who have corrupted the system" (those would be Republicans)
--The SC appointments aren't "lame", they are crucial. The last two weeks should have made that crystal clear.
--There is plenty of evidence she would appoint people who would make a difference. In fact, all Dem nominees have been on the right side of all the recent close decisions.
--We don't have to wait until Roberts dies or retires. There are likely to be three retirements in the next 4-8 years, including Scalia and Kennedy. A lot rides on who replaces them.
--The crony system is already codified, in the form of Citizens United
--A president who "fights hard" is not going to make any difference as long as there are Republican majorities in congress and the supreme court. Remember, it was the supreme court, not the president or congress, who decided Citizens United.

Most importantly, losing the White House in 2016 destroys any hope of progress on campaign finance for a generation. On this particular issue (and many others), the difference between Hillary and Bernie is tiny compared to the difference between either one and the GOP. So kneecapping ourselves by getting outspent 10-1 by Republicans is the worst possible strategy.
