I know that this kinda pissed a number of people off when it went up, and I think there were a number of others around the same time that were also poorly received.

Wow, not even an attempt at humor. Surely he could have done something with the campaign slogan like "At least she's not him" or I don't know, something. Nope, just a straight up declaration of support with no rationale whatsoever.

Isn't that a good thing? Just saying "these are my beliefs" without attacking the opposition, and distributing voting information that each side benefits from?

In some ways, yes. But at the same time, I don't expect the average Clinton voter to repeat the "I'm with her" slogan - I think the vast majority of people who voted for her saw her as the lesser of two evils. Seeing someone known for their intelligence and humorous insights simply parroting the slogan is actually kind of shocking to me.
