Will there be a concession speech?

What I like about opposing candidates in national elections is the sportsmanship the losing candidate shows in an act of conceding to the winning candidate.
One doesn't lose dignity in conceding, contrary, the act affirms the integrity of the person. There's humility in acknowledging and submitting to the will of the people.
The voice of the people, after all, echoes the better man.
Sigh!
My daughter said mine is wishful thinking. It is not in the character of the fat loser in the White House who robbed the decency of the presidency and created a mockery of the greatest democracy ever.
'Check the news, Ma', my daughter said, 'there's a move to stop the counting.'
Hay!

I guess your daughter is right. The incumbent is still trying to find ways to justify he was cheated on. I am just wondering if he has been observing our local political culture here that he thinks very much our own politicians. l have observed that the many presidents before him was not like him at all.

@eileenleyva Well I am looking at the politicians side of things.
Voters maybe very well the same as our I think they differ only in the color of their skin. But observing them from afar they behave similarly to our local version.

@eileenleyva Wow that is a different thing when there are armed groups already. I hope we do not get to that point in here.

A difference observed -
The incumbent in America was installed by the voters with minimal education and could easily be persuaded rhetorically.
The incumbent in our country was installed by 16 million voters with penchant for idolatry and corruption.

No concession speech.
In the middle of counting, orange head said he won and then he said that the counting should be stopped and that the ballots are tainted.
Orange head clearly losing his marbles.

@eileenleyva shared a meme I found showing Biden as Thanos with the snap. People in MAGA hats got dusted.

@allen0187 Check out the meme showing Lady Liberty shooting the egotist to Neverland.
By the way, a network and print media are calling for concession.

I don't know if there will. Biden, might, but Trump.... He's really not to thrilled. He's also losing, even if the race is close. I still can't believe they're still waiting on states.

As Biden advised - 'Be patient.'
Okay, let's wait a bit longer.
Maybe if we sleep for a power nap, and wake up, the final result will already be out.
The world, I think, is all watching. Everyone needs a breather,

Then it must be imperative that the Supreme Court issue a gag order soon. The neurosis is detrimental to the American people.
