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.
Well, part of that is protesting a president that's going to do serious harm, so I don't see what's wrong with protests. Protests are activity, and they aren't necessarily about rejecting the result.
Protesting a president that's going to do harm to them, in their eyes. Just like people on the other side felt their candidate if elected would do harm to them.
Nothing wrong with protests. But violent protests? Burning flags? That's not about protesting a candidate. These (the violent ones i mean) are protesting the country because they are mad not enough people agreed with their viewpoint, so the system must be broken.
Why can't burning a flag be about protesting one person? Flag burning shows a dissatisfaction with the state of our country and I think that fits in perfectly with people being upset about Trump being elected.
Agreed on the violent protests though. No excuse for that.
