Biden won!!😎👍 The election is over.

@smiler2012 ffs. He doesn't have to concede. Why are y'all so obsessed with that?

@Callmewhatyouwill is this not part of the american presidential protocol

@smiler2012 no. It's just a polite tradition.

Officially a presidential candidate doesn't have to concede an election. In the case of a president not winning reelection all they are obligated to do is leave the white house at noon on January 20th.

It is that time that a new administration is official

@Callmewhatyouwill If it were a Democrat, you’d be saying the same thing—“sore loser”. It’s the fact that he’s acting like a child and not accepting that he’s, well, “fired”.
Just imagine if Jimmy Carter had behaved this way in 1980.

@bijouxbroussard I wouldn't as long as they left. We've had this discussion before, don't assume things about what I would think.

I think it's stupid for people to put so much faith into a tradition that only started in 1901.

I don't have to imagine it. Gore behaved this way in 2000 and didn't concede until the supreme court stepped in. You know 37 days later not 10.

@bijouxbroussard agree totally thought it was a common courtesy

I’m assuming it because it’s the [b]logical[/b] response to this situation, and I’ve believed you are, at heart a logical person.
Regarding Gore,
A. He wasn’t the incumbent.
B. No one alleged fraud.
[quote] Election 2000 was about how to count ballots, not widespread voter fraud, as Trump contends will happen this year[/quote]
C.Gore [b]did[/b] concede.

@bijouxbroussard he did allege fraud that why it went to the supreme court. He did concede but after 37 days and the supreme court upholding the final recount results.

It's only been what 10 days since the election? And there's still litigation and recounts going on.

Why the rush? Gore got his time to fight for the job, as was his right, so why does trump have to just throw in the towel?

Lets say roles were reversed... Wouldn't you want Biden to have all the legal opportunity win just like trump now?

@bijouxbroussard 80 percent of the country think biden won,the rest are in denial

@Callmewhatyouwill [b]Legal[/b] opportunity, sure. But I would be disappointed in him if he were whining and charging that the Republicans were “stealing” the election—even though there would be more precedent for such a claim. There was the reality of foreign hacking last time—with standing indictments against no less than 12 Russian nationals. And this year Trump made an issue of the mail-in ballots—with the Postmaster General being a staunch Trump supporter. Many of the neighborhoods where polling places were moved or that disappeared before the election had large (mostly Democratic-voting) black populations. Trump [b]intimated[/b] from the beginning that he would not concede if he lost.There is much more smoke [b]there[/b] than from the other side. 🤔
