I think the point is that at least people voted to make Biden their candidate.

Now those votes mean nothing and someone else will pick their candidate for them instead.

Not true. Inherently when you voted for Biden in the primary, you explicitly also voted for Harris.

She got 14 million votes too.

In many states (California being one) you don’t vote for a vice president on the primary ballot. I did notice that in Illinois, you do.

Biden beat her in the primary. If the people wanted her to be president she would have won then.

The VP pick is pure politics at it's worst. Just look at McCain / Palin.
