I think we need to be honest about the actual context and meaning. We've seen what happens when presidents lose the election and refuse to concede. It happened with Bush Jr, and it happened with Trump. When Joe tells us that he wouldn't do what they did, we shouldn't be upset at his honesty. We should be happy that he's not evil.

This was in response to it being pointed out that he has an incredibly low approval rating and other members of the party have asked him to step down. And how would he handle all of the countries worst fears coming in January.

This wasn't some question about concession policy. This is him refusing to listen but also not giving a shit as long as he feels like he deserves the power more than anyone else.

Nah it's that hes been around politics and knows changing horses mid stream is guaranteed failure.

Period end of story. Change candidates to some no name non incumbent snd and you definitely lose. Run Joe and we may win.

No you are now adding context of what you simply want not reality.

You're lone idea reality is not the only one that exists. If you don't know other candidates it doesn't mean they don't exist.

You are giving up and just want the easy option even if you don't even think it will work without forcing others to do something they don't want to do.
Period. End of story.
