I have seen plenty of people on Lemmy that said they would revolt if Trump wins. I don’t for a minute think it would be peaceful, regardless of if she concedes or not.
But I think she’ll win, so we don’t really have to worry about it.
The truth is that Kamala will concede if she loses. Thus no violence. Trump however will never concede.

Fair enough, people who act tough online is bipartisan. There are always people who say things.
If my side doesn’t win I’m moving out of the US…
Usually all talk and no action.
I also hope that everything is peaceful.

I remember when Trump won his last election and all the people who said they were moving out of US.
Annnndddd no one did. And the world didn’t end.
But yes, I hope everything is peaceful today!

I wish those people would move. I also wish each party had a better candidate. I am tired of each side voting against another rather than for a person.

Yep!!

There is no requirement to concede; it’s nothing more than a tradition. Trump conceding or not conceding won’t change who wins the election.

But conceding shows that the loss is accepted. Never said it would change the outcome of the election. It will have an impact on the possibility of violence.

It’s just a tradition. People put to much weight in it.
Trump last time and conceded a few days later. He just didn’t use those exact words.
Sounds like you are into traditions. That’s very conservative of you

He conceded on January 7th. Not exactly timely there.
