If voters really want to create progressive change in this country, they have to get passionate across this nation about their House races, their Senate races, their governors, their mayors, their state court judges, etc. You can't just promote a figurehead and assume he'll solve everything. That's not the way democracy works.

Not even to suggest that this is a problem exclusive to Bernie supporters-- it's a problem down the line in this country. Progressives need to give far far far more shits about local/state/House and Senate elections. Loving your Presidential candidate isn't even approaching enough.
