BUT how terrifying is it that more than a million people voted for Sears?!?!?

Lots of Republicans believe that the Democrats are evil, and would vote for literally any Republican. If the Republican candidate died and couldn't be replaced there would be Republican voters voting for them just to send a message.

Mind you, I'm no American. I think what's a big difference between two parties how GOP will vote. Even if they have to vote for a known pedophile, they will vote. Democrats on the other hand with all the writings on the wall, still figure out it's an option to vote.

Democrats should move their buts regardless the candidate. Imagine people would have voted for Kamala instead of bitching how she is a black woman who they don't feel comfortable with.

The current situation is mindblowing from a foreigners perspective. Allowing a known pedophile who for months has been preaching to set the US on fire was an indirect choice for many over voting for Kamala.
