Anyone else come back here after hearing Kamala’s concession

[frankgonzalezofficial]

She wore purple to symbolize unification of the red and blue

[marieanderson]

I have to admit at the time I criticized her for not making the speech the night of the election. Now I have to say at least she MADE a concession speech, and a dignified one at that. Romney, McCain, and Gore gave dignified speeches as well.

We took this moment for granted. Thank you, Hillary.

[thekaratekid]

Funny how both lost to Donald Trump
Both chose the VP first name, Tim. What a coincidence😂

[shadedfilms]

Greatest honor of my life
Bill clinton: *looks guilty

[chloe_]

Remember when we had graceful losers of our elections?

[santiagoaguilar]

I remember this speech. Easily her best and it was so dreadful and scary. Though I don’t agree with her I wanted her to show the progress that this country was for. Goodbye Trump and finally

[lauriemahood]

How could we have known that this would be the last coherent speech in the US for the next 4 years?

[adamhcru]

This is what grownups do when they lose.

[cyclicmusings]

A dignified concession speech that doesn't devolve into insulting Trump. Let's hope that Harris takes notes and can do the same, taking her loss gracefully as difficult as it may be.

We call this: CATEGORY, this LADY, showing one more time, Presidential ways to be.

This is what leadership is about, is the greatness of recognition and acceptance of democracy.

It takes a leader to allow majority to move forward, even knowing their ideas are against your own.

Knowing that a person (no matter who, even yourself) is nothing compared to your country.

Differences are clear, now more than ever. Undeniable light, in front of darkness.

Great concession speech Hillary Clinton. Why couldn’t Donald Trump do the same for Joe Biden. This speech alone shows you who possibly would’ve been a better president.

[codyanderson]

Wow, I was never a fan of Clinton but this is great, especially in hindsight after the 2020 election and Trump's stupid selfish response. Trump should take some notes from Clinton regarding how to handle a loss

[nazaninmaily]

She looks very emotional, beautiful speech .

[brentgray]

You know, I may not agree with Hillary Clinton, and we may not always see eye to eye, but my respect for her just sky rocketed after this. She gave a very wonderful concession speech. And you know what’s sad? Trump broke that tradition. Even though they fought like cats and dogs, hillary was able to get up on that stage and concede the election. Shame on you Donald trump.

Hillary speech Practice TimeLine
for my lesson and test.
1:25- I know how disappointed~...
7:59- I have as Tim said spent my entire adult life fighting for what I believe in.

[douggraham]

Not a hillary fan, but you can see how much the loss just gutted her. She was never the same afterwards.

[ninamartinez]

This is almost what Kamala Harris said its not the outcome we were looking for after that i was lost.

[CommanderArmin]

this is how you peacefully transfer power with class. It must’ve hurt to stand there but what a way to pass the baton.
