Mail in votes bad in states going blue, mail in votes in states going red are ok because reasons 👌

This is in the article you linked saying he conceded?

He did not concede, however, and went on to repeat unsubstantiated claims of corruption, pledging to keep up the "good fight". It is worth noting that Mr Trump does not have to concede for Mr Biden to be sworn in as the 46th US president.

The head of GSA said the decision to move forward was hers... but even if Trump gave the go ahead, that's not conceding the election.

It's simply a fact that Trump has tried to steal the election. For the millionth time, I don't know why you come here to discuss topics that you are completely uninformed on.

but where did Trump accept defeat? Has he admitted it anywhere?

Admitted defeat, of course not.

but we can all admit this sounds decidedly not Trumpian:

This is the problem with the right wing side of TDS. Its like you guys live in a second realm of existence.
No one has a problem with asking GA for a recount with a 10k margin. They even have it set to auto recount at specific numbers because of how normal a process it is.
To pretend that is all that took place is contrary to basic reality.

Sounds like a concession in only the loosest sense.

We have real concessions to compare against. I don't trust Trump to ever actually concede or admit he lost.

You won't ever get a clear cut concession out of Trump and he will continue to flail and go on with these lawsuits that will prove meaningless purely out of pride, as he fades out of relevance in the next few months, so what?

The fact he's saying things like "do what needs to be done" is a pretty obvious informal concession. He's not taking to Twitter and trying to mobilize militias, he's not calling his supporters to do something, he's not firing officials that are moving to transition, and so on. There are many ways he can actually contest this election that would qualify as trying to create some insurrection or unwillingness to transition but what we're seeing is the equivalent
of a Karp flailing in a bucket.



lawsuits and recounts =/= stealing elections. If there was any meaningful attempt of him trying to 'steal' the election and create some insurrection it would be evident in financial markets with the market dropping, instead it's rocking higher every day. Smart people know how to weigh real risk and bullshit eye-grabbing headlines apparently you're not one of them though.
