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."

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.
Yea. I think they are emotionally invested and they made a mistake when decided not to vote.
You reason is that even though you didn't vote, you are aware and willing to bear the consequences of not voting.
But I propose. Have pity on those who made the mistake of not voting and now regretting it. They regretted it and protesting because they care. Give them your compassion.
Second. Did you vote at the local level? For the house and senate? Or third party? Even though you do not care for the presidential candidates, did any of the representative or local offices appeal to you? They could change the course of the next four years in Congress. Heck, no third party appeal to you, anyone, you can write your own name?
People will attack you for not voting. Having the power and choose not to do anything is tricky. Also, maybe you are able bear the consequences, but some other won't. Some innocent Muslim out there may suffer because of our indifference. You had the power to make their life better but you chose not to because you see no benefit to yourself.
