The BEST thing was the flood of pictures on social media afterwards of little girls staying up late, watching her speech on TV.

Sheer genius, thank you for sharing these thoughts.

Thank you, this was perfect.

Me too, I hated it when it was the Ford Explorer song. I hated it at the end of the rallies. It was actually the acapella video (and I typically hate acapella AND celebrity videos) which made me love it. Just seeing all of the enthusiasm and diversity on display for Hillary brought made me teary. It made me associate…

One of my biggest complaint of the DNC is making me like that “Fight Song.” I avoided it for so long. Now... ugh. I’m ashamed of myself.

Democratic National Conventions turn me into a cheesy sap. From loving all of these macarena videos to even **god forbid** loving Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song”. I just feel enormous pride that I’m a member of a party that is patriotic while continually working to improve the country for so many.

Here’s a pick-me-up:

Thank you. It’s been so easy to be cynical this past year. I really needed a reminder like this of how great we really have it, any why there is still good reason to be proud of this country.

this was beautiful. We really take our election system for granted most of time, it’s not perfect and now that people care it will be (hopefully) improved but it’s a clockwork system! Every 4 years! Imagine how envious countries are who’s “President”’s have been in power for 10+ years.

It’s easy to cynically point at all the failings of American democracy. But the one thing that will never cease to amaze me, and that I will never stop reminding myself is unique and incredible in the history of government, is the American transition of power. Like, there’s no subterfuge or questions or violence or…

Not gonna get a snarky critique of last night from me, guys

Yep. Everything you just said. My husband came home late in the middle of it and I’m bawling and we both just cracked up. He’s totally a modern, aware ( woke bae as the kids say ) but he’s a man and just can’t “get it.” At the same time he’s aware of that and was really appreciating that I was so moved. We both voted…

The white suit was a genius move

Author here. These are good and fair responses (especially the Senate one, since she clearly relishes kicking ass there). My point is even if it were practical for Clinton to tap her, some ugly gender stuff would have made it a tough sell.

Man, I’ve always switched the station when “Fight Song” comes on the radio, but I finally watched that video they made today and I was tearing up and goosebumping like crazy at my desk.

Thanks for opening up about this experience of cynicism being thwarted—even for a moment. It hasn’t happened to me in a long time; like a feeling of utter affirmation. I know maybe it makes me a credulous sucker but my god my heart grew three sizes when she walked out to that dumb song. Moms and daughters, man—I just…

When she came out, dressed all in white like a fucking angel coming to save us from Donald Trump, my heart just seized up in joy.

The balloons were cool on t.v. too, although I kept clenching in fear every time Bill Clinton tried to kick them on stage. Although his enthusiasm was adorable, I kept having visions of him flying off stage and breaking a hip.

I fucking bawled my eyes out. Every time they cut to Bill Clinton beaming at her, I sobbed even harder. I voted for Sanders in the primary, but I can’t wait to vote for Hillary. Feels soooo good.

Seriously? The way you guys tell it, the dead period is only going to increase once the Olympics get underway.
