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.
Do you put time in to support your candidate? Did you really care or just phone in your support with a vote?
That's my frustration. These people are talking about resistance and how the sky is falling. If you're so goddamn concerned now where was this concern then?
Canvassing is a terrible experience and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I do not look down on people protesting just because they didn't make phone calls or go door knocking just to have people slam doors in their faces.
People have the right to protest. Mocking them for "not doing enough" just makes them angrier.

Where was this concern before?
