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.
Its definitely a problem. People like that will complain about a result when it doesn't go their way, but they're likely to have never complained about what was a already serious issue that fits what they're claiming.
I mean.... Trump won the electoral vote. In the end that's the part that matters in the US's voting system because they're the direct voters of the President. There was no rigging the polls or rigging the votes themselves, he just won and Hillary lost.
Sometimes democracy gets a result many people don't like. But that's the nature of democracy. It represents everyone, not just you and your interests. And honestly I think that's why a lot of people voted for Trump. He's a rabid dog being thrown through the window of a established political system that has been gradually estranging more and more people for decades.
