Yes, the DNC primary process includes the delegates voting for Harris. Obviously Biden was running and she wasn't during the main primary election, but after he dropped out, the delegates had already been awarded to Biden and had to vote for someone else. They used surveys and questionnaires to determine who their constituents wanted them to vote for, which served as another form of primary, and they followed through on that. This isn't even complicated. You don't have to like it, but that's the process. If you don't like it, you are free to not be a part of the party. No one's making you.

Who is "we" my guy? You a member of the democratic party? The democratic party followed their rules exactly to place her on the ballot to run for office. Sorry if you don't like that.
Did you know that you can start a political party and use any way of selecting a candidate you choose? You can make a Tin Foil Brigade party and write in your bylaws that the candidate with the thickest tin foil hat will be the party's nominee as long as you register with the FEC and follow their financial rules. If you do that, no one will accuse you of trying to subvert democracy. We just won't vote for your DF candidate.
