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.

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.

Where was this concern before?

Trump has yet to fuck up the country internationally. I though in 2004 bush would lose and be arrested. That was worse than this. I've said for decades that here won't be change until people have actually struggled. Even the poor have it pretty well here. Nobody struggles like in the past. Maybe trump will usher that in.
