Firstly - there is a variance amongst the Sanders base (just as there is within the Clinton base) - it's not a one-size fits all monolithic scenario. But to your point - what most Sanders supporters largely agree on is that you can't create systemic change by electing candidates committed to upholding the status-quo.
I strongly supported President Obama (twice) - and have been very complimentary of his presidency (particularly his second term). He has been an incredible diplomat and has uprooted status-quo operatives - particularly on foreign policy - but there's still more work to be done. Clinton does not have the DNA to carry the baton and push forward with the Progressive foundation that Obama was able to lay - and her speech today to AIPAC was a clear indicator of that.
