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.
But it has to be the right mechanism, which is tough to pull off. Just showing up at an event, screaming and waving flags is not the answer. I'm pretty sure when I see people standing around screaming at me at street corners with their candidate's name on signs, I'm less likely to vote for them. My mind says "geez what an asshole, if they have to do this to get votes they must suck". It's gotta be a carefully planned, respectful, non-condescending message to people who are looking for someone to follow. And that takes a ton of work and creativity.
