How come BS supporters denigrate Hillary's wins in the South, as unimportant red states,

9. It's simple...and less insidious than you might think...

It's a form of confirmation bias, where people see phenomena that benefit or confirm their belief system as being positive even when the same phenomena are viewed as negative when applied to an alternative or opposing belief system.

It's a classic double-standard...and we all do it.

Here are some examples:

Red states for Bernie are a big win, a revolution of new voters!
Red states for Hillary are downplayed as being insignificant to the general election!

Voter suppression caused by Republicans in Arizona where Bernie lost: a huge big deal!
Voter suppression caused by Republicans in New Hampshire where Hillary lost: not that big of a deal!

I could go on and on, and although I'd like to pretend Hillary supporters don't do it too...we do...whether we want to admit it or not.

It's the whole reason liberals tend to watch MSNBC and conservatives watch Fox News, because those outlets largely reinforce our existing viewpoints rather than challenging them.

It's completely obnoxious, but it's human nature.

It's also the reason I can't wait for the primary to be over, regardless of who wins, because it's just one of the reasons DU has become so freaking toxic and unbearable lately.
