quote [ Many of these men (and women, too) would never admit that their hatred of Clinton was linked to her gender. She’s untrustworthy, they said—more so than a candidate who openly, compulsively lies more than any other candidate in recent memory. She’s corrupt, she has baggage, she’s shrill, she’s cold. Clinton was far from a perfect candidate, and there were lots of level-headed reasons to disagree with her. But it’s hard to look at the surplus of pure contempt lobbed at her over the years and not attribute it at least partly to the fact that she’s a woman. ]
If you still don't see it, if you still think that gender was not a major factor, I'm afraid you're unable to see it, and that is genuinely frightening.

Sanders only won in caucus states.
Except for New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Vermont, Michigan, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, Indiana, West Virginia, Oregon, Montana, and Democrats Abroad (not to mention coming very close in Massachusetts, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico and South Dakota)... but hey, reality has never stopped you from smearing Sanders before.
I think caucuses are a messy, inefficient process that should probably be eliminated, but caucuses favor the candidate who generates more enthusiasm, primaries (and early voting) favor the candidates with more name recognition.
And the eagerness of Clinton supporters to dismiss caucus states and erase the will of those voters does not reflect well on them or their respect for democracy.
