I am absolutely a non-voter. I am in a Dem majority county and state. So my vote does not matter in the slightest. A Rep flipping my area has about as much as a fart in the wind offending a bloodhound upwind.
The delegates are legally pledged to the popular vote winner though. Delegates pledged to a candidate who dropped out before the convention will typically vote for whomever their pledged candidate endorsed when they dropped out. If you’re thinking of the superdelegates, they don’t even get a vote unless the pledged delegates aren’t able to elect a nominee in the first round (this change went into effect in 2018).

All the more reason to vote in the Democratic primary, as that’s your real election, then.
Nope, decided by delegates. I vote for who I want and the party decides who they want.
If elections were decided by popular vote, I would have more motivation.
