Hilary is not a change candidate. She will keep the status quo and do the bidding of the 1%. And that is not progress. I, like you, don't hate her, but I totally dislike her smear tactics along with the arrogance and entitlement that she endlessly displays. The Democratic party was much more successful when they actually fought for the working and middle class folks. That started to change when Ronnie Raygun took power in 1980, with the attacks on unions, high interest rates and Reaganomics. We've never recovered from that debacle of a presidency (I have a political pin that says "I survived the Reagan years" and that's about all we all did-survive). Then the Turd way DLC took over and it was all over but the crying.
