What do you think of HRC's stern advice: DO NOT CONCEDE

[CTyankee]

If they have to count to the last damn ballot, do not concede.

I agree with that. It's also a good warning: DON'T FUCK WITH THIS ELECTION!

1. She knows something is coming

For her to say that, she must be aware of some serious election tampering.

[SheltieLover]

3. Absolutely!

[CTyankee]

5. will it go to the Supreme Court for a second go around?

[SheltieLover]

2. She knows he is going to try to steal it

Joe knows, too. This is Hillary's way of alerting the unsuspecting to not expect election night results.

[kairos12]

4. Never concede.

[Wounded Bear]

6. She's not wrong, and Trump will certainly do the same... nt

7. Excellent, H is letting them know we aint playin this time,

and are going to fight for every last vote - no matter what fraud/suppression/etc they throw at us.

8. If Biden concedes, our country is gone.

For the record, I’m still angry about the Supreme Court “Bush vs Gore” decision 20 years ago. The difference is that Democrats respect laws and judicial decisions and Repubs don’t. It’s hard to run an honest election when only one side plays by the rules.

20. +1000

Very well said!

[Polybius]

9. Love her, but I wish she would have taken her own advice

Kerry and Gore too should not have conceded.

[Bluepinky]

13. Gore didn't concede.

The US Supreme Court decided, in a highly partisan 5-4 decision, to halt the Florida vote counting, thereby declaring W Bush the President. It was such an obviously political decision that the court noted the ruling could not be used as the basis for future rulings. Gore had no choice at that point, no further options. Worst Supreme Court decision in US history.

10. She is CORRECT

11. She is CORRECT

NEVER CONCEDE.

12. Does "conceding" have any legal effect?

Isn't it up to the election authority, such as the Secretary of State for the state holding the election to declare who won?

I thought conceding was only done as a social courtesy in elections where the result is indisputable and not in any doubt, largely as an occasion for the defeated candidate to thank all of their workers, voters, and contributors?

[CTyankee]

14. Oh, I don't know. I don't think so.

I think she meant to hold on til the last minute and let the election authority tell you. She is saying "don't be gracious like I was."

[hlthe2b]

15. I think I'd really like to hear Al Gore say this as well. n/t

[lindysalsagal]

16. I'm still angry Kerry conceded.

They all want to play the game, and get along. f that.

17. She is helping the Dem party look like they're getting tough.

This isn't going to be easy on Trump. And it shouldn't be.

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. Good advice, but better delivered in private

Republicans will be using it to persuade their stupid supporters that Democrats are not going to allow a fair election.

[lettucebe]

19. It makes no difference. If the election is found in one's favor they win. Period.

Does not matter if the other side already conceded. That'd be like saying because someone concedes, it's tough luck if it's found in a few days after counting ALL ballots that they actually would have won. Does not work that way. Conceding is simply a courtesy.
