Why Bernie Sanders Lost
As Harry Enten of FiveThirtyEight explains on Twitter, Bernie Sanders lost because blacks and Hispanics overwhelmingly voted against him:
Clinton also won every state except Colorado where Latinos made up at least 10% of eligible to vote population.

Still the telling stat: if Clinton wins DC next week, she'll have won every contest except Michigan where blacks make up 10%+ of population.

I tried to tell our SJW friends:
@occdissent Besides, Bernie has the unions!

@TheLibertyLamp Bernie will lose to Hillary in the South because of black identity politics

@occdissent I would not assume Hillary has the black vote. She got racist in her run against Obama if you remember?

@TheLibertyLamp The Democratic electorate in the South is too heavily black for Bernie to win. The block vote will go for Hillary

Identity politics was much more important than the super delegates, the debate schedule, the big donors, the media’s thumb on the scales and other aspects of the rigged nomination process. Hillary’s campaign message about “breaking down all the barriers” successfully channelled resentment against Whites.
Oh, and it didn’t matter that those Whites were largely anti-racist, progressive Bernie Bros who are committed to social justice and think Trump is a racist. They just weren’t responding to Sanders’ class-based message.
