"Voters decide, not money." The voters are told what to believe by the likes of Peter Thiel and Cambridge Analytica, or by the likes of Hearst, Bezos, and Rupert Murdoch owning newspapers. The rich very often have the ears of politicians, with which (if they don't directly bribe) they can easily have lunch any day of the week to lobby for their special interest, or propose quid-pro-quo plans. How often does the average voter have lunch with their elected representatives? For almost all of them the answer is never. The rich also donate to foundations (if they don't own some outright) that lobby the government for their interests, they fund ads to the tune of millions of dollars, they sometimes use millions of their own money to fund their own campaigns for office (Trump being exhibit #1, and Bloomberg #2), etc.
