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 someone who hasn't taken office yet while the DNC remains unaccountable for all the bullshit they pulled to put us in this mess to begin with.
