Harris! Do Not Concede!

[usaf-vet]

History will not think less of you if you hold your ground. Do Not Concede! UNTIL all options have been explored.

[cilla4progress]

1. This

I like.

I want the votes cast to be closely examined. We know tech Bros were in it with putin, who steals every election

[Emile]

2. Trump never conceded to Biden.

[onenote]

7. And Harris isn't like and doesn't want to be viewed as being like Trump.

That's not who she is, as I expect most people here recognize.

[MontanaMama]

3. Her concession is scheduled

for 6pm EST. It is done.

[Patton French]

5. WTF?

Really?

[GreenWave]

48. Yep! Quit before all the facts are in.

[ShazzieB]

56. She probably wanted to take some time preparing her response to the election results..

This isn't just any concession speech, after all. This is a moment of monumental historical importance (and not in a good way ). Fairly or not, a lot of people will be expecting her to say something that befits the seriousness of the moment.

I don't know what she could possibly say that would make this any easier or make us, her supporters, feel any better, but I think the delay is an indication that she is taking this very seriously and will do her best to rise to the occasion. I will definitely be tuning in at 6pm EST (5pm my time).

[BoRaGard]

4. Ditto

[Jersey Devil]

6. She will concede. And she will do it with a smile simply because

she is a good, decent person.

[usaf-vet]

12. Yup that is really going to be important over the next four years!

I can't believe DUers are ready to fold.

[Jersey Devil]

14. Conceding is not "folding"

It is remaining true to you own basic decency. To do otherwise would be to become just like Trump.

[SCantiGOP]

42. "All Options" have been explored

The only one left is to storm the Capitol on January 6.
We lost, and the National Democratic Party knows it.

[DavidDvorkin]

8. There are no options

Other than accepting reality.

[sarisataka]

9. A- a concession is not needed, it is a sign of class

B- what options? The polls we didn't want to believe were correct, we lost. Now everyone loses.

[TheProle]

10. "The polls we didn't want to believe were correct, we lost. Now everyone loses."

Yep.

[Baitball Blogger]

11. At least not until we can figure out how small red rural counties were able to pull off more votes than

the number of people who lived in them.

[usaf-vet]

13. AGREED!

[onenote]

29. Do you have an example?

Or are you channeling Rudy Giuliani?

[PBC_Democrat]

31. Where did that happen?

My guess is that this is the kind of wild speculation that takes on a life of its own.

Verified numbers or it didn't happen

[birdographer]

43. I wondered about this same thing

Too many votes for not that many people. But it's probably not the reason. Men don't want a woman president and so they didn't vote at all.

[calimary]

44. THIS. VERY most likely THIS.

Although many probably DID vote that way. We had the secrecy of the vote to give us cover. But so did they.

[birdographer]

58. I just heard on NPR that

trump had the young male vote. They did not think the Democratic Party "spoke" to them. They thought it was too focused on abortion issues. Makes sense--these are kids 18 to, say, 25. Many aren't married or even in a relationship with a woman that they love. They certainly don't have teenage daughters to worry about. They are, at that point, the definition of "self-centered." Women's issues would be at the bottom of their priority list. Meanwhile, they thought trump did great with the economy. A 20 year old now was 12 when trump was elected in 2016 and 16 when he lost to Biden. So, these 12-16-year-old kids were right on top of the US economy under trump and that guided their vote at age 20. Yeah, right. They just don't care about women. But apparently they learned well at trump's knee about how to lie very poorly. It's not that I don't understand; I understand completely. But don't lie about how great the economy was under him.

[Emile]

15. Why did this election have 18 million less voters

than four years ago?

[DemonGoddess]

17. and longer lines?? n/t

[Emile]

18. and bomb threats

[tritsofme]

19. That is almost certainly not true. There are millions of uncounted ballots, especially in places like California.

[Emile]

21. 18 million?

[tritsofme]

23. Yes, across the country, entirely makes sense.

[Emile]

24. So when they count all the votes, you're saying they'll

find 18 million votes?

[tritsofme]

26. I would expect overall turnout to be greater than 2016, but probably marginally less than 2020

Most of that 18 million gap will disappear within a week.

[onetexan]

37. Ppl are usually not motivated a second time around to turn out to vote because they don't understand the gravity of the

what's at stake. Dems and conscientious Americans did not turn out to vote in large numbers like they did in 2020.
Most Americans aren't all that smart and have short memories. It's the economy and immigration reform. They can't quite understand that to even fix those you need to have a functioning democracy.
Sigh...

[Baggies]

39. Good question

That Harris received 18M less votes than Biden did in 2020 is raising all sorts of uncomfortable questions about this election and 2020.

[Polybius]

46. 2020 was historically high in turnout, the most in 100 years

We returned to normal levels. The longer lines were due to far more people voting by mail-in in 2020 due to Covid.

[tritsofme]

16. A concession is nothing but an acknowledgment of reality. To suggest it is "folding" is just nonsense.

I’m not sure what you think is being accomplished by denying reality?

[usaf-vet]

20. Can you point me to the page that show me REALITY. I and we should all have unanswered questions.

Harris is done. She will never gain national prominence again if she just FOLDS and goes away.

[tritsofme]

22. She will never gain national prominence again, no matter what at this point.

What point is there in dragging out a concession? It doesn’t change the reality of her loss.

[WarGamer]

25. Trump is on track for 310+ EV's...

what's your plan?

[kerouac2]

27. Agree

Trump hasn't conceded the last effin election

[Bluethroughu]

28. This is about freedom and our Democracy!

DO NOT CONCEDE!

TRUMP AND HIS REPUBLICAN TRAITORS HAVEN'T FOR FOUR YEARS!

[LAS14]

30. Oh, for crying out loud. Don't do this!!! nt

[meow2u3]

32. Give Trump a taste of the medicine he gave Biden

Question the legitimacy of the results by pointing out the interference of Russia, Elon Musk, 11th hour dark money from billionaires, and other dirty tricks.

[KS Toronado]

36. Exactly and DO NOT CONCEDE

4 years and TSF still hasn't conceded the 2020 election. "Hey they cheated with the voting machines!"

[jaxexpat]

55. Do not give this fraud's government a moment's peace. Badger them at every turn and give no quarter.

Never concede this election!

Folks, the really bad part will come with the new congress. Normalcy is a thing of the past. Grow up and know it. The value of honor has long been inflated, much to our chagrin.

[Martin68]

33. Wrong. Don't sink to Trump's level.

[Ferrets are Cool]

34. I wish I had some say in the matter. I don't. Please don't concede VP Harris.

If getting on these old knees and begging would help, I would do so in a heartbeat.

[ShazamIam]

38. There are too many uncounted votes and too many corrupted electoral boards. Count the votes, demand recounts. We must

challenge every close precinct, every close state.


Edit: correct spelling precinct.

[Polybius]

47. What would you classify as close?

Under 1%?

[ShazamIam]

54. My comment is about uncounted votes, not a close finish.

[Hotler]

40. Giving up without a smidgen of fight. The orange one had 60 lawsuits, how about at least one for the team.

[DemonGoddess]

41. Not only should she not concede,

we all need to email her AT the White House to tell her that. I already have.

[BootinUp]

45. Will someone let me know when the fever passes?

And by that I mean when the crazy ideas stop getting shitloads of Rec’s.

[JohnSJ]

49. Thank-you. It is just nuts.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

51. So how did that Gore concession work out ?

went over like a ton of bricks

if it feels funky, it most likely is

[GreenWave]

50. Why were the networks so bat shit crazy to declare Trump the winner of each red state with hardly any votes counted?

NY had to wait a long time despite huge disparities, and NJ, and Illinois, and Connecticut, etc,

How did the gold standard in Iowa fall off the mark?

[Silent Type]

52. CNN just reported that she has conceded in a phone call to trump. She will speak later. Think it was proper move.

[ColinC]

53. Will she...have the courage?

Mike Pence certainly didn't. Maybe she will!

[HereForTheParty]

57. What options might those be?
