2. To some extent, yes, especially if people don't have the Internet.

Even in urban and suburban areas, Dems don't rely on people reading. Dems do a lot of GOTV...and that needs to extend to some more rural areas, which was the crux of Roarty's article.

But, yes, Clinton did have a plan for tech expansion and promoted tech entrepreneurship. She spoke of infrastructure development and new "green" industries. She campaigned on cutting red tape and taxes. She campaigned on raising wages, reforming Wall Street and making the wealthiest pay their fair share. And so on. Again, she spoke at length and with great substance on economic issues. The economic messaging/"working class whites"/too much focus on social justice narrative, popular among some, is utter bullshit.
