What are you talking about, Larry? As far as I remember, Hillary Clinton called Trump to acknowledge that he won during the night of the election.
Oh yes, she made the standard "I concede" call. Then she got drunk and fell asleep, woke up the next day, scratched her fat ass, farted, and launched a 3 year "I didn't really lose" campaign. She even wrote a book about how it was everyone else's fault not hers, and how she won the popular vote so she's really the rightful winner. She called the book "What Happened".

What constitutes "valid proof of massive fraud"? What constitutes fraud and what constitutes massive fraud, and how long would it take to establish it or accept that there's no case? The country cannot be without a president while 200 lawyers diddle around with this, and such an investigation obviously would not commence until after the election.

Count me in as another one who thinks that Trump refusing to accept an election result is a legitimate concern.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Did she make any serious attempts to overthrow Trump? Bitching about the electoral college vs popular vote is one thing. But she never said that Trump didn't win the electoral college.

Of course she didn't deny he won the electoral college. She simply joined in with the rest of the democrats in pushing for an end to the electoral college, and helped promote "The Resistance", which launched the coup attempt. So yes, she was up to her eyeballs in the attempt to overthrow Trump.

Then you'd fall for anything.

I think the question is academic - I can't really see Trump losing the election, but based on the last 5 months I guess a lot of weird shit could happen between now and November

Trump is liable to call a loss "illegitimate". Lots of losers of elections have done so, that is an irrelevancy.
Many of Trump's base would back him on that claim, again irrelevant and commonplace.
I think there is no plausible path forward for Trump to use violence to stay in office.
and no, I will not attempt to establish that it is "impossible". "Impossible" is not necessary for something to not be a "legitimate concern", especially when the "legitimate concern" is fun to say out loud to drive home the point that orange man bad.
You conceded my first two concerns then skipped the rest, ending on a nice straw man. Perhaps it wasn't intentional, want to try again?
What straw man? Was it a straw man when I rephrased "couldn't happen" as "impossible"? Serious question, I am fascinated by your ability to see straw men where they do not exist.
Bump for jon, I am curious what the straw man was.

It seems there are plenty of democrats who would be willing to commit massive fraud.
Would they be able to commit massive fraud? Probably, some.
It could happen.
In which case Mr. Trump would be obliged to declare a loss illegitimate.
What else could he do?
We have courts to deal with this. No big deal. They will provide justice.
-
It's as transparent as can be.. push for vote by mail so you can steal the election, get all the bobble heads on the Left talking about Trump refusing to accept the election results, then while they're looking at that Shi y object steal the election. Then, if you get caught at stealing the election you can simply say "see, we told you he wouldn't accept the results!! "
The Left is evil and have no morals or principles.

@Horace said in State of the art progressive thought re: Trump refusing to leave office:
It's an academic question posed by people who find it cathartic to discuss implausible worst case scenarios that are the result of a political result they don't like.
If this place is any guide, it sounds to me that no small number of Trump supporters have already decided the next election is going to be rigged, and of course all of the cheating will be by Democrats.
Obviously, you don't spend as much time, or any time, making fun of those people.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

And my point about the current riots and its political side basically accepting them, while expressing concerns over the possibility of violence if Trump loses, remains a good one.
The reason is that the riots, even today's protests, have absolutely nothing to do with Floyd's death. It has nothing to do with Justice, as the Corps have been arrested and charged. This is all about power for some, fun and games for others.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Hillary paid for the fake opposition research on Trump and then leaked it to John McCain, among others. This helped precipitate a coup attempt between some denizens of the Deep State, using fake facts in FISA Court applications.
