Something that is cold and hard.

Just what we need to shove up 45's ass.

Americans showed up for Biden in Detroit.

They saves our asses once again!

Cheers to Detroit & the Wonderful Black Americas who came out to vote for Joe Biden & Kamala Harris.

I have loved Detroit since the '60s when I visited my boyfriend there & listened to little Stevie Wonder on the radio!

But honestly, how does a country pay that kind of debt back?

Maybe congress can have some project money that Detroit could use?

....(both dissed by trump tonight) as well as Atlanta, Phoenix, and Reno/Las Vegas.

Not over yet, but this has been a historic election in so many ways, but maybe most importantly by the votes of the inner cities of America.

All of us Dems, as diverse as we are, knew what we had to do. We had to fight suppression, we had to fight the trumpanzee violent caravans, we had to fight voter intimidation, we had to fight the destruction of the USPS, the police and a deadly virus that has taken a quarter million of our fellow Americans.

But we did it. It aint over, still got work to do, but we united and we won!

Thank you Motor City!

However I must say that I am positive that plenty of black women voted as well. Black people showed up in droves. Beautiful and frankly not unexpected. You do.

I heard a black man say today on TV " We've gone from picking cotton, to picking Presidents". I'm sorry I don't remember the man's name or the state he was in, but he is so right. This country will be saved by black men and women. Thank-you.

The black vote. The poll workers that were harassed.

Michigan as a whole are to be thanked.

Don't fuck with Michigan or their Governor.

because they reside in 'states that don't go Democratic in the general" ever again, as we saw after Super Tuesday this year.
