Okay, I'll admit it. I'm excited.

As you all know, I'm a Bernie supporter this year and was an Obama supporter in 2008. But as a woman, and as someone who has observed Hillary Clinton for 20 years, I am excited for her. It takes temerity and fortitude to go through the grueling process of running for president and lose and then be willing to go through it all over again. When she conceded to Obama in 2008, I felt a twinge of sadness when she talked about the glass ceiling and falling short, and I promised myself that I would at least consider supporting her. In the end I didn't because I have admired Bernie for a long time and was especially attracted to his effort to mount a credible campaign for president without taking any money from corporate fat cats, and Hillary is a bit too conservative for me on some issues. I am now and will always be a Bernie supporter. But I never hated Hillary, and while I always planned on voting for her if she won the nomination, watching the convention tonight I am getting pretty excited about it.

7. I hate that slogan

I think it should be "she's with us", not the other way around. Maybe I will make some stickers/buttons that say that.

I know Hillary's campaign didn't come up with the slogan and it started organically on Twitter, but I feel like it undermines her narrative that no one person alone can do it and that she fights for us.

8. I second that emotion. . .

9. Did you find that in my store?

I saw someone posted it yesterday about 2 hours after I made it.

For what it's worth, I have sold a ton of stuff with that slogan in the past week, so for all the hecklers at the convention, there seem to be a lot more Bernie supporters who agree with this sentiment.

10. Probably. If so, thanks.
