I thought the vast majority, if not all, Democrats liked her While she as a person seems, on the whole, to be well liked, some of her more "extreme" policies don't have wide support within the party.

The party is something like 30% of the population (recent changes due to Trump effects notwithstanding). The leadership of the party are basically republicans, but with nicer sounding rhetoric on identity politics issues. So of course her "extreme" policies don't have wide support. Republicans oppose policies that help anybody but themselves and the 1%, and even though some of them are registered democratic, Republicans still control both parties.

  Corporate interests control both parties. The parties are just a false illusion of choice.

    Precisely. They use different wedge issue tactics to keep the populace divided and mollified, but the end game is in service of their own interests.
