Bump
Now that we have primary results in comparison to 2016, raising this question again is fair. Let this sink in: Biden won tons of voters, who backed Sanders last time in protest. Biden carried many rural and suburban counties in MI, MO, IL and WA, that HRC badly lost in 2016. A significant junk of these voters went over to Trump in November, giving him the election. I wonder why? It can't be about ideology, because Biden is politically pretty close to Clinton and both are considered "establishment career politicians". Their biggest difference seems to be foreign policy, with Biden being less hawkish. For sure, HRC had problems of her own like 25 years of GOP smears, but comparing her 2016 primary results and voter coalition to Biden makes me wonder how much sexism indeed played a role in her loss.
