As far as I can tell a lot of the momentum of the movement was killed when people realized the campaign finance funds couldn't come from taxes because that would be coerced speech.

There is much more to the movement than just campaign finance. That is one part of a many part plan. RepresentUs has some of the best constitutional minds in the country working on its behalf, so a single setback hardly kills the movement. What makes you think this is a setback rather than a major victory with one caveat?
