Then don't listen and appreciate his actions... š

As far as actions go...I like that he got rid of the TPP even though I've read that they're trying to put pieces of it back into other trade deals. I like his lobbying ban even though I would've liked to have seen it taken further. Everything else has been corporate giveaways so far.
Drain the swamp? Ha! He put a Trump Tower on the swamp and is now trying to pass it off as Fifth Avenue. Forgive me for not buying it.
Like I've stated previously, he's not the main problem. He just took advantage of the mess that our political system is in. I could be wrong but I feel like most Americans want to see some change in the direction that our governmental policy making has taken. At least polling has shown this, and not Obama "change." Actual change.
Until we...
Get rid of the electoral college.
Install rank choice voting.
Install term limits
Overturn Citizens United and have publicly financed elections...
I'm afraid we will not see much change. I'm not interested in majoritarianism per se; I would just like to have equal representation at the table when our government is making policy decisions that have serious consequences on my life. I'm not naive enough to think that I will ever have the same "equal" representation as those at the top; I would just like to get as close to equal as humanly possible.
I don't feel like that is too much to ask out of my government, do you?
