Young, white, liberal males are the "everything or revolt" type that turned on Obama really early during this tenure as President. They want left-wing policies and don't want to be told that it can't happen. Clinton is telling them that it's not possible, and what Obama (whom they feel betrayed by) accomplished should be defended and expanded. They identify with all of Sanders' criticisms of Obama and love his policy proposals, no matter how unrealistic they are, because they are the most left-wing proposals to be proposed by any candidate, and they love his rhetoric - it identifies the bogeyman (Wall Street) as the one bad guy, the source of all of their ails (and young, white men have many...). When everyone in a hive mind have one clear bad guy, they start all thinking alike and become openly hostile to all dissenting opinions.
