Ultimately, all democratic transitions are based on one side being willing to concede power to another. Without a concession at some stage, power must be allocated by force: Either the military must decide, or there is civil war. There is growing concern that the United States may be arriving at a moment where* a concession is no longer achievable — but if this is the case, this is ultimately a problem with the state of American politics, not its legal machinery.
所有的民主過渡最終都建立在一方願意將權力讓給另一方的基礎之上。不在某個階段承認敗選的話，權力就必須通過武力來劃歸：要麼由軍隊決定，要麼會發生內戰。人們越來越擔心，美國可能到了一個很難做出讓步的時刻——但如果是這樣，這最終是美國政治的問題，而不是其法律機制的問題。

*a moment where: "When" is usually the more logical relative adverb after "moment," but here, the writer might be referring to "moment" in a figurative sense, perhaps involving abstractions such as an imaginary point.

I recommend using "when" though.
