The US population has never had a voice in this decision. She was selected by Biden, and now has been selected by the Democratic party through their endorsements.
I'm sure a huge part of that decision was her access to the Biden campaign war chest - nobody else would be able to use it. Logically this decision makes sense, as it gives her the best shot at defeating the GOP.
That said - this election will indeed be the first time the American people will actually have a choice in voting for her. Given that the election is 100 days away, that also makes sense. Spending as little as a week in a primary situation would be sacrificing the much more important time remaining to campaign against the GOP.
Thankfully for her, it seems like a pretty easy path to the White House at this point. You can make the argument she wouldn't have survived a Democratic Primary process (like 2020), so wouldn't have been the nominee, and therefore the President.
But here she's just running against a mental defective, so has a great shot at winning. And given the fundraising so far (over 100 million?) it's not like the populace is in rebellion.
