edit: oh I see, you're responding to the line I dropped at the end. That wasn't actually intended as a bash on Clinton, but I can see it being taken that way in the context. I'll clarify. There are a lot of things that were apparently on Clinton's website that didn't really translate into her actual campaign. You can't talk about everything, and how many coal miners do we actually have in relation to this nation's population anyway...but I do not actually think she put most or much of her vocal efforts towards the class struggle.
Being fair, I don't think it would have mattered what she did when it came to conservatives, because she was already public enemy number one based on the last 20 years of smears and falsehoods via Fox news and GOP radio. I understand her counting on different demographics and not bothering to waste energy courting these populations under the circumstances.
