Because it gives the person with more money more voting power (even moreso than they already have).

Well, that is always the case given that no candidate who raises 100 M+ loses to a candidate who raises less than 100 M, irrespective of per-donation size. Once we have a market, everyone can participate in this rather than just the big donors. It's a democratization of the voting market!
