Well, you're not far off the mark in my view. The system is designed to prevent that kind of candidate from being elected. So, you can accept that and go with someone in my opinion has a small chance to inch us forward in all the issues you mention or other candidates who will not. Or you can try to work outside the system to radically change it, which may or may not have the intended consequences.

If you read and listen to Obama, part of his campaign is about re-invigorating and energizing people to action on a local community level. That is a positive message with an effect which can carry on to various issues far beyond this campaign.

Since we are here on DU discussing the current candidates, I choose someone who has the potential to make incremental, but still historical changes within the limits of the system.
