Is there not a class war? Is money in politics not a threat to America? Is it not a new gilded age?

Class war, race war, the New American Aristocracy, the hegemony of the .01%, the accumulation of godlike wealth and the pathetic scrabbling of the 90%, the immunity of the banking class, the corruption of the financial sector, the worship of greed and profit, the abandonment of community, the crumbling infrastructure, the education cost crisis, the imbalance of military spending, the demolition and decrying of public assistance - - -

This is a short list of what I consider some of the defining issues of our time for which Hillary Clinton holds no appeal for me. The lone exceptions are LGBTQ civil rights and maybe funding for some social programs like WIC, which she and I both support.

Is Clinton offering any solutions or even public push-back on any of these issues? Are there issues that may fit categorically with the above where you think she excels that I am overlooking?

You won't anyway. From now until she wins in November 2016 both repubs and Dems alike will make up shit about her.
She's use to it. I don't know of any other public figure that has withstood so much bull shut being thrown at her yet she stands tall because she is better than those who make up that bull shit from Rove to Ken Star to some here.

Is there a mischaracterization you care to deconstruct?
