9. in the future we have to rally around the candidate with majority support among us, whoever that is

I basically agree, although I get that many people were feeling disgruntled with the DNC for various reasons, and many of those people were mislead as to what could happen by not voting for Hillary. Not to excuse anyone for enabling Trump.

At any rate, if we don't turn into a single-party state, there can never be an excuse after this.

Going forward, democrats, independents who are left-leaning, and republicans too disgruntled with their own candidate, after a period of open and honest debate, need to make it a point to rally around the candidate with majority support among us. And we all have to collectively make that commitment to a single candidate at some point in time prior to polls opening, for every election.
