We weren’t given a choice in the matter when Harris was running. I wanted a primary but didn’t get it.

We had a primary and Biden/Harris won.

If you're complaining that you didn't get a second primary when Biden dropped out, then maybe it would interest you that legally no one but Harris could have taken the significant war chest that the Biden/Harris campaign had on hand. Furthermore, as a term of the deal for Biden to drop out, Harris was not allowed to deviate from ANY of Biden's positions. This is why she had so much trouble with questions about the genocide. She was not allowed to answer the way she wanted to.
