The Atlantic: The Dangerous Myth That Hillary Ignored the Working Class.

[hueymahl]

5. Good article and analysis. Thanks.

I do take issue with its conclusion/premise (the author kinds of works both ends), i.e., that it is a myth that HRC ignored the working class, because in a sense, that is exactly what she did. No, she did not ignore them in the sense that she had comprehensive policies that, if enacted, would help them and all americans. But politically, she allowed herself to be painted by the republicans as a politician that pandered to the working class but really aligned herself with the ultra-wealthy. In this sense, she failed in her outreach to that segment of the population which is easily interpreted as "ignoring".

Ultimately, as great a person as she is and as great a president as she would have made, she was just not a very good politician.
