Hillary - “the ones who gamed the system by buying politicians like her...

[Martin Eden]

178. You ... "rarely hear discussions about banksters, corporatists and the 1%-99% divide"

That indicates a blind spot that needs to be rectified, because the financial manipulations on Wall Street have had a huge negative impact on the people in the circles you travel (and on the vast majority of Americans). The economic crash of 2007-2008 was almost entirely caused by schemes on Wall Street that were made possible by the repeal of Glass-Steagall (signed by Bill Clinton). To avoid a repeat of that disaster will require an overhaul of financial regulations that are opposed by Hillary Clinton's big donors on Wall Street.

Do the voters who really, really like Hillary Clinton know this? If not, then I submit she may be universally recognized but is not universally "known."

The Iraq war Hillary Clinton voted for will cost $3trillion or more when all is said and done. The resulting budget deficits have put the squeeze on every program that helps Americans in need, as well as investments in education and infrastructure needed for our children's future. You mentioned some things Hillary has talked about, and this should include her words on foreign policy which show every indication she is still a hawk.

Every issue you mentioned as a positive for Hillary is also a positive for Bernie Sanders, and every difference between them that I can think of (except recognition in these early opinion polls) greatly favors Bernie in terms of his record on the issues and as a president who will be a true champion for the people you and I both care about.
