The only way to force the government to reform is to vote out the party that screwed up.

Unfortunately, in the US, both parties colluded to work for their corporate sponsors, not the people who vote for them, so they both need to be disrupted somehow.

Most voters understand it, and that explains the anti-establishment voting in this election (Sanders/Trump)

There's a big difference between "reform" and "tear down." I'm specifically referring to people who say they want the second. I can understand, if not agree with, people who want to elect Trump so he can reform the system. I think people who want to elect Trump to tear the system down don't understand what that means.
