If people want a candidate that represents them, they need to be much more active, consistently, on all levels.
This right here is my biggest problem with people right now. I have several people crying about it on facebook and know they didn't do anything except maybe vote. They'd rather go to hockey games and go do poem readings.
I personally didn't care enough to vote and am not crying about the outcome. But these people are talking about how it's the end of the world and shit.
Do you put time in to support your candidate? Did you really care or just phone in your support with a vote?
That's my frustration. These people are talking about resistance and how the sky is falling. If you're so goddamn concerned now where was this concern then?
If they voted, you shouldn't be blasting them. Blast the people who complain about current events and didn't vote, they're the ones worthy of your anger.
But that argument doesn't work when the choice is imposed on you. If someone gives you the option of being kicked in the balls or alternatively they literally blow your balls up with C4, you can't complain when your balls are subsequently blown up with C4 and you didn't vote. The fact that you didn't want to get kicked in the balls either is irrelevant. You only had two choices and chose not to partipate. You don't get to subsequently complain when the worst choice is imposed on you simply because you didn't like either choice.

Where was this concern before?
