Have we heard the last Presidential concession speech in American history?

 Hillary Clinton is famous for being the first woman to run for President as the candidate of one of the major parties, and tried to become the first woman President of the United States. Nevertheless, will she be remembered as the last candidate to do something, namely the last person ever to concede an election to her opponent? It's a chilling thought.

We have two bases who have nothing but contempt and hatred for each other. They demand news that confirms what they already think. They elect politicians who are increasingly partisan. All six groups - the voters, media, and politicians of each side - accuse the other side of cheating to win elections.

Biden isn't the one to seriously not concede, but it isn't far off.

Irony. The only Russian national indicted in federal court for influencing the 2016 election was working for the Democratic party.

I do see that both Biden and Majority Whip Clyburn are already questioning the legitimacy of the 2022 elections. Guess that is the new normal.

The lunacy is amazing. In 2016 it was not a legitimate election because of the Russians (according to Ms Clinton). After 3 years of accusations against Trump of being a Russian asset and Putin stooge we somehow get the cleanest election in history under Russian asset Trump's watch in 2020. Today on social media one is not even allowed to call into question the election without bring banned and being accused somehow of damaging our precious democracy.

After three years of the Russian investigations, the only Russian indicted in federal court (to date) was working for Hillary Clinton.

Now the leadership of the Democratic party is setting us up to call into question the next election. I can't even keep up with the Democratic party narrative anymore. It's sheer lunacy.
