The Philly mayor said yesterday that Trump should “just put on his big boy pants” and concede.
Hmm.
That reminded me of the advice that Clinton offered to Biden in August.
According to left-leaning Politico:
Hillary Clinton is predicting Donald Trump’s reelection effort will be a messy affair, and the former Democratic candidate has some advice for Joe Biden: If the race is close, don’t concede.
She emphasized that even a small margin of votes can have major consequences, harking back to her experience winning the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes and still losing in the Electoral College.
Democrats, she said, should be ready to fight if the results come back too close to call.
“Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don’t give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is,”
Biden said in July that Trump would try to “indirectly steal” the election by attacking mail-in ballots.
The GOP response: Democrats “believe they can sue their way to victory, and there’s no telling what other shenanigans Democrats will pull once polling locations are open,”
“Don’t concede a close election under any circumstances.”
I wonder if she’d offer the same advice to Trump?

This is no close election, Trump has lost by close to 4M votes. America should move to popular vote system vs. archaic system of electoral votes.

The electoral system in the U.S. was designed by the founders to prevent the tyranny of the majority. In a presidential system like the U.S. has, you need this safeguard of indirect election. Otherwise a handful of big states will dominate the elections and will force their will on many smaller states, favoring policies that disfavor or are not acceptable for them. Besides, the irregularities are massive and the election should be called for Trump in the near future. In my native country voting by mail is unimaginable. You can only vote in person, on the day of the election and with a valid national Secure ID. Beijing Biden is a compromised politician, a pawn for China and corporate oligarchs.
