As a reader, I don't believe many of the stated premises here. I don't mean that as a troll, but as a fan of Democracy SOS and thus as feedback. For example, "The money goes to candidates who donors know will win." I'm a politico enough to know a LOT of senate races in 2020 outraised/outspent their competitors and still lost, and a quick search of the internet verified this. https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-ELECTION/SENATE-FUNDRAISING/yxmvjeyjkpr/ Knowing that premise isn't true, I'm skeptical of the rest.
Even our elected members of Congress "have to pay to play". They are expected to raise money for their political party. Those that are successful get appointed to the more significant committees. Those who don't raise money for their party may be limited to just voting on bills.
