Welcome to Democracy-ish. I'm Torre. Danielle is at home taking care of her mother, who's come through surgery successfully, but she still needs a little more TLC before she comes back

to the mic. So sitting in for Danielle today, it's the great Dr. Christina Greer.

Insert pause.

Say hi to the people, Chrissy.

Hi to the people, Chrissy.

She is an associate professor at Fordham.

She's the politics editor at the Griot.

She's a co-host of the podcast, F-AQ, NYC, and an all-around awesome and brilliant political mind.

Thank you.

We're happy to have you sitting in with the band on another big day in politics.

Black voters again came out and said, we want Joe Biden.

And it happened not just in the South where we expected it, but in Michigan.

And when they called Michigan and Joe won, I think 15 out of 15 counties in Michigan, especially

McComb County.

It was quite often a central county in Michigan and in Michigan, especially McComb County. It was quite often a central county in Michigan

and in America. I said, I think that's it. And I think the race is effectively over. I think

black voters and voters in general have chosen, Democratic voters in general have chosen decency,

safety, and the expectation of normalcy and general competence over the possibility of revolution and change.

And an outsider coming in and saying, we're going to change things up. I think Bernie learned a little too late, cannot rely on young voters.

And Bernie Sanders had a problem with black voters in 2016, and he did not in the years

since address that.

And there's nothing in his platform, which we know, as opposed to Joe Biden, I don't know what he's for besides decency and safety.
