‘D’-enied!

During the 2000s, I used to watch on CNBC the financial expert Suzy Orman.

Her program was broadcast on Saturday nights.

Orman had a segment titled “Can I Afford It?”

Orman would take calls from viewers who would tell the host: on what exactly they were interested in their spending money; give their financial information (status); and wait for Orman to tell the viewer whether that viewer has been approved or denied.

It was obviously much more memorable when Orman would say, “Denied!”

Orman did not always deny based on financials. She had some in-betweens. Orman would then draw the viewer’s attention to using judgment. Sure, something could be approved. But, sometimes, even with initial approval, it wasn’t wise for such viewer to buy.

I am reminded of the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries being effectively over, that the presumptive nominee is Joe Biden, and that runner-up Bernie Sanders has not only “suspended” his campaign but also endorsed Biden—and is even urging his primaries voters to vote in the general election for Biden.

That brings the decision, for the general election, to the would-be voter. It is especially of importance to a person who voted in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries and who did not vote the nomination to Joe Biden.

The majority of primaries voters will vote in the general election for Joe Biden. Those individuals may explain why. But, not the full 100 percent of those who did not vote the nomination to Biden will turn around and vote the 47th U.S. president to get elected in the general election to become the 46th president of the United States.

In a way, I feel like I am my own version of Suzy Orman.

The information has been submitted to me. I, as a citizen and voter, have been asked whether I will approve or deny. After all, I did participate by voting in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries from my home state Michigan. And, even though the general election is not for another six months, I am prepared to give my answer.

Based on the party apparatchik still embracing the Clinton era of neoliberalism, which delivered the presidencies of George W. Bush and Donald Trump, and based on their corruption—in many forms—dating back to at least 2016, I am going to reveal my answer in the following (and last) paragraph.

My answer, to the 2020 Democratic Party, and to presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden, is—are you ready for it?—D-enied!
