We didn't make the system, some slavers hundreds of years ago did.

It seems like we won't have to worry about the current system much longer though

No, but enough people voted for the party that put the supreme court justices in place who ruled on citizens united over the years.

Voting isn't a one time thing, it has repercussions that can be felt decades later (see shortages of ATC because of the actions of Reagan in the 80's).
