So why did the losers lose?

Mayor Pete can't blame sexism and nobody much seems to blame homophobia, so everybody settles that he just never got support from black voters.

Nor, of course, did he ever get a sufficient slice of the rest of the vote.

And nor did Senators Warren or Harris or Klobuchar, but that's not stopping them and the Ladies' Grievance Chorus behind them screaming about sexism and glass ceilings and the like.

Several writers in The Guardian have played a big role in that chorus.

Do they realize this is an attack on Democratic primary voters?

Have they forgotten that Hillary beat Bernie and actually won the popular vote in 2016?

Meanwhile, pundits on Morning Joe like Eugene Robinson are joining the host in scratching their heads about Bernie's continuing viability in the face of his impending losses in the South, thanks to his failure to tap into any significant part of the black vote.
