I feel bad for people not caught up in the excitement of this historical nomination


and this amazing, optimistic, spirit-lifting, beautiful, diverse convention.

I really do.

I am not sure when it became the norm that in order to be considered a principled progressive one must always be in a state of cynicism and perpetual despondency, but i reject that brand of progressivism. I believe in grit and doing the most good and the least harm, and to me Hillary Clinton represents that.

I am so proud and happy to be part of the movement that gets our first highly qualified, competent, and incredibly empathetic female nominee.

And yes, it does matter that she is female. Allies are great, and both Bill and Obama have been great allies to women. However, actual representation will always matter, in terms of what policies get prioritized and what gets ignored.

I am so proud and excited to vote for her again. 

PS: although, I will miss Obama sorely. He has been an amazing president.

I think I'd get a kick out of watching that. She's kinda short, and the voting machines are kinda tall.

As a woman, what offends me about this whole thing is that Hillary did not do this on her own. If she hadn't been married to the POTUS, she never would have been elected Senator to any state, let alone one she lived in for a mere 15 minutes before declaring her candidacy. She wouldn't have run for POTUS in 2008. She wouldn't have been Secretary of State. And she wouldn't be a presidential candidate now. If your idea of a "role model" for women is someone using a husband as a launching pad for success, well, fail.

Carly Fiorina is a role model. So is Condaleezza Rice. So are any number of women. But not Hillary Clinton.

And that (the bolded in red), ladies and gentlemen, is one of the reasons that this country is so f'ed up. Naive and intellectually braindead individuals who vote for people because of what color their skin is or what is between their legs instead of voting.

Question: what will the DUmmies do if Trump comes out tomorrow and says that he's decided that he's a black female homosexual trapped in a white male heterosexual's body?
