That list showed what they are fighting for, not where they are getting their money from, you obviously didn't read it.
A quick trip to opensecrets.org demonstrates that your claim is full of shit.
The Demos have pols like Alan Grayson who get most of their funding from individual citizens.
You also have Democrats that are trying to overturn the Citizen's United ruling & get campaign spending back under control.
But that's ok, stick your fucking head in the sand & don't vote. You are doing exactly what they want you to do.
As Minimalist explained...

True. The difference is a matter of degree. I'll take that degree. It's all I can get.
See? We can all agree to disagree on a degree.
Personally I don't enslave myself to the man.
And as for your holier than thou plea about democrat politicians, Ron Paul isn't a democrat. There are people who stand by their morality and are funded by grass-roots regardless of what party they represent. No matter if they are democrat or republican they will not win, they cannot win, and if they do win they quickly change once they get into office.
Mr Cool Dude Democrat Obama, Nobel peace prize with Jay-Z on speed dial, continues Bush's work passing back-door censorship legislation and bombing the shit out of the middle-east.
But no, I am doing exactly what they want me to do by not voting for the mass murderers... I am the reason the rich get richer and the poor get poorer...
Go fuck yourself.
