Can you tell me exactly where that wasn’t what Hillary was doing?

With respect, I’ve answered this question before. Perhaps you didn’t get a chance to read the material in full, so here it is again:

Neoliberalism: the deep story that lies beneath Donald Trump’s triumph

The Clintons’ Dominance of Democratic Politics Is Over—And They Will Not Be Remembered Fondly

A post-election report by the pollster Stanley Greenberg confirms that Clinton’s decision to shun a progressive economic appeal was a fatal error. Greenberg found that “polls showed fairly resilient support with white working class women, until the Clinton campaign stopped talking about economic change.” When the Greenberg team tested a Democratic message attacking Trump for his character vs. a message “demanding big economic changes” and attacking Trump for “supporting for trickle-down and protecting corporate special interests,” they found that the economic message “performed dramatically better,” particularly among key voter groups like millennials, white unmarried women and white working class women.

The full report referenced in the above quote is here.
