The so-called "party elites" - that is, the superdelegates - consist of elected Democratic officials: Senators (including Bernie), representatives, governors, state elected representatives, Democratic constituents such as organized labor, and current and past Democratic presidents and vice presidents. AOC and the rest of the "squad" are superdelegates, as are many other Sanders supporters who currently hold state or federal office. And Bernie agreed to the rules about superdelegates' votes: If no candidate has a majority after the first ballot, the superdelegates vote. Don't like the rules? Don't play the game.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
