Yes yes yes...It actually IS about US! It should NOT be about THEM, the politician that is supposed to only be our voice, our public servant.
Traditional Democrats just want a candidate that fights a little harder for Democratic values. And I'm sorry to say it, but I think Hillary will have an ever rougher ride with the Democratic base if she chooses to continue the party's march to the Right.
I think a lot of Democrat voters have held their noses last election to get Obama a second term. I think the straw pile is heaping on the top of the camel to the point where many of them are reaching their limit of how far Right they will accept a Democratic leader to bend. If Hillary, after those many quotes about issues you posted, turns out to be just like Obama, and 180's on her implied promises, and continues the incestuous relationship with the Wall Street oligarchs to the detriment of average Americans, she will get even more backlash on DU and everywhere Democrats commune. More so than Obama, who stepped into a huge mess that could be blamed on the previous administration (for good reason) and had some buffer and a honeymoon period as the nation (at least the moderates and libs) and world were just sighing in relief of the previous regime being defeated.
So if Hillary thinks she can grab a fork and shovel another heap of straw on the camel...under orders from the .1%....I think she doesn't have a clue the suppressed frustration of the Democratic base after enduring two terms of a. If that happens, get ready...that camel is coming down.
