Obama was a change candidate for a change election, and very little changed. Trump beat Clinton based on change, and very little changed.

Now the choice is between two different candidates who have already been president.. there is no change candidate.

Well unless you count Trump's saying he's going to be a dictator, I guess that's change, and that's the change some people are wanting.

Not enough people in the US would accept enough change in the other direction to matter. Corporations and dark $$ own politics, and no one seems willing to elect anyone that would change that.

I said it before part of me wants Trump to win and things to get bad enough that people would actually support real change.
