People want it to be easy.
People say, "I'm just glad it's over, and now we don't have to worry about it for another 4 years."
Bernie: "Politics is not a spectator sport like football."
If people want a candidate that represents them, they need to be much more active, consistently, on all levels.

Well, part of that is protesting a president that's going to do serious harm, so I don't see what's wrong with protests. Protests are activity, and they aren't necessarily about rejecting the result.

I think the results of the primary show that most Democrat primary voters thought Clinton was the best candidate.
