We need a new Democratic Party, that much is clear

203. That third candidate was another Regressive.

Our candidate was gay and I can tell you that homophobia is alive and well in the US regardless of the gains we have made through the courts. In my district in Upstate NY, we had an openly gay candidate in Sean Eldredge and he lost 1-3 to the shit Teabagger. I have been having a running battle on fb all day with an acquaintance who said that Sean should go back to his husband and get his carpetbag out of NY. I called her homophobia shit and asked her if she said that males who were married to females should be told similar. I then was told that I was being too sensitive. So, she not only did a homophobic-xenophobic statement, but compounded it by patronizing me. Another thing that I noted was that the local Dem party didn't do shit, no phone banks, nothing, nada, zilch. As an election inspector, while the turnout was very good with no lulls during the voting hours (6am to 9pm), there were darn few people under 34 that voted, very few.
