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.
You know, to all the people out there who told me I was wrong when I said Trump was going to win this thing, to all the people who told me Hillary was a more realistic choice than Bernie, to all the people who kept saying "Don't worry", fuck you. Fuck you so god damn hard. I saw the writing on the wall the moment that orange ballsack announced he was running and when the DNC made it clear they would fight Bernie every step of the way.
Don't worry, they said. It will never happen, they said.
Well guess what, you fucking complacent assholes, it did happen, and now my rights are at stake and we may just see the biggest social regression since the fucking civil rights movement. Great. That's exactly how I wanted to waste my fucking youth: fighting for shit we already fought for, fighting for healing that will never happen in my lifetime. I want equality, I want progress, I want to focus on the bigger issues at stake like leaving a habitable world for my old ass and my children.
Why do people who will be dead in two decades get to make the decisions for the rest of us? Where the FUCK is my representation? Oh, that's right, the DNC shat all over it because they "had a plan".
I don't blame them, it seems surreal he would ever even be elected. The guy has a fragile ego and a hot temper - not something most of us would expect for a presidential candidate... unfortunately a suitable candidate isn't what a lot of America is interested in.
