Democratic Primaries

The fact that I support him doesn't mean it's my goal to advocate for him here, because what happens here has no impact on the actual Primary outcome. And I'm not attacking Harris; if critiquing her campaign.
As for "organization issues", closed door fundraisers aren't a problem to most Democrats. They certainly weren't for Elizabeth Warren in her Senate campaigns. And they definitely aren't for Pete since he has the funds to run robust campaign, unlike most other candidates.
