I see Donald Trump and Brexit more as a protest against the status quo--which does not mean that the entire system is terrible. It could just mean that people want reforms that benefit the public good and not just some Senator's home state.

An issue with the current system is that while the people wanted a change candidate, our two-party political system almost successfully suppressed a change candidate from emerging from both sides, and _did_ successfully suppress one of them, Sanders. If the political system can't adapt to change, then how can it successfully evolve?

Many people rationalized their vote for Trump as a) Not HRC and b) looking for the "change" that was never realized by the last admin. We got both, although we most likely won:t get the "change" we were intending.
