I’m not going to rest easy until it’s a confirmed landslide and Biden mumbles a concession speech.

We never got a concession speech from Hillary. I doubt very much we get one from Joe either.

Fortunately, concession speeches don't amount to a hill of beans. The purpose of a concession speech was to congratulate the winner and (if the incumbent) pledge to work with the winner for a smooth transition. In return, the winner would be magnanimous in victory and would praise the losing candidate for a battle well fought.

Now a relic of an earlier, more civil time.

You are right about concession speeches not amounting to much. I still remember Gore conceded and then took it back.

Actually, Hillary did urge us all to give the newly elected President a chance to govern. But, she broke with that sentiment within 48 hours.

Hillary actually gave a concession speech Wednesday after the election. And it was actually quite good one. Conciliatory and friendly. It was one of the best speeches she ever gave. If she stuck with it, the world would be a lot better place!
Unfortunately, she pretty much repudiated it in few days.

LOL. If Trump wins 350 EVs on Tuesday, Biden won’t concede until Dec, waiting to see if the immense voter fraud operation they have set up can steal enough votes for him.

Then Trump takes it all the way to the SCOTUS, if he can produce enough evidence of wide-spread fraud.
