Yes, the primaries which wrapped up earlier this month are the mechanism by which a candidate is selected. The winner of those is the candidate.
What "normal" mechanism do you think should exist for overriding the primary voters to pick a different candidate because you know better than them?
“Nothing can be done at this late date” is probably true but there are almost 130 days to election day, enough time for normal countries to contain an entire campaign beginning to end with plenty of room to spare
Your point about how it's bad that we can't do anything is that having a primary that concludes five months before the election is too long before the general?
Compared to, say, the UK that had its most recent leadership election in 2022?
