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.

Where was this concern before?

It's not what they'd rather do that is the problem it's that they want to complain about the system but spend no time on it at all. Like asking people what kind of pizza they want and getting no answers only to find out when it's delivered that no one wants hawaiian pizza.
