There's a difference between remainers saying "there should be another vote because they think still think the UK would be better in EU" and them saying "okay, the UK is going to leave but we still think the UK would be better in the EU". The logic of that is that Labour voters should now think like the Tories because they won the election.
Sound point, dr.
Losing an election means little in bigger philosophical terms. Capitalism is still evil, the entire social system is evil, based on greed and winner takes all (few people know that 'meritocracy' was coined as a term of abuse!), but as you point out, we don't all of a sudden start thinking like Essex Man, polishing our Mondeos (or whatever today's equivalent is).
No. We wait, we learn, we read, we discuss. The pendulum WILL swing, it always does. Biased 'democracy' with its rigged elections (no, not rigged like that, Donald, rigged by deeper, longer-term class interests), will not always be the victor.

There is no comparison whatever between the Brexit referendum and the US election other than both were as free and fair as it’s possible to be.
Nor is there any comparison between the reactions of the losers in each case.
At least it seems Trump is now fully cooperating. I’m optimistic to believe the damage he’s done won’t be long lasting. Maybe pardoning that turkey will give him pause for thought.

Yes. Lost in all the drivel is that Trump has said the transition preparations should go forward as normal. Some dictator.
Must say, after the vaccine news over the last fortnight, I'm surprised to see some of you anti-Trumpers swanning about the site.
You must have thicker skins or shorter memories than me.

'At the present time, the Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden is the President-Elect of nothing, and the backdrop in front which he continues to be photographed is a stage set being utilised for psychological warfare. There has never been an ‘Office of the President-Elect’ and there is no such office now.'

"There has never been an ‘Office of the President-Elect’ and there is no such office now."
There is a transition period, as always, with substantial sums of money allocated to it (as always, and at last released) to get on with the business of transitioning.
If Biden wishes to call that the "Office of the President Ellect then so be it, because that is effectively what it is.
That link: I am not sure whether to laugh or cry.
Sidney Powell has relatives here ?!

// Mass Mail-in voting is damaging to democracy everywhere it's allowed. It's an open invitation to fraud. //
The invitation doesn't seem to have been accepted in the American election. Trump's crack team of legal experts and investigators hasn't managed to produce any evidence of fraud. I mean they had that one job right?, and they couldn't do it.
Hold on - perhaps they're in on the conspiracy too?

It's a shame that "what-aboutism" is the only response some have. It ought to be possible for those trying to connect Trump's non-concession to Brexit to condemn the former unequivocally.
What's bothering, too, is that it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of both. Trump cried fraud, and still cries fraud, and refuses to accept even the *legitimacy* of Biden's presidency. In so doing, he has also persuaded or encouraged millions of Americans to think the same way, to give succour to baseless conspiracy theories. There is no parallel in the narrative of Brexit, certainly not among the majority (as the 2019 and 2017 Elections demonstrated).
