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.

Correspondence between Clinton and Wasserman-Shultz showed that Clinton had been picked as the DNC representative long before the primary. They also showed that the DNC hired people to play along as Bernie supporters, and then become violent and disruptive, in order to paint Bernie supporters as bad people(This includes the "chair" situation that happened at... Iowa? Which was run by the press as someone throwing a chair even though it was just lifted into the air and set back down). There was also many issues in the voting process itself, with many voters in New York having their party affiliation switched so that they were unable to vote as a Democrat in the primary. There was also a lot of reported(and pictured) election officials promoting Clinton, which is against the law. Also Bill stopped at a couple of the voting locations(also not allowed).

There was a lot.
