There are countless reasons to hate Hilary Clinton so I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you mean why they hate her more than other similar people?
Also while the American voting system is a sham, it shouldnt be forgotten that their third parties (eg Libertarian/Greens) are far stronger than any non-mainstream UK parties. American voters have a wider range of credible options available to them than UK voters do - the UK political spectrum is absurdly narrow. Obviously in both countries it will be centreist/populist parties that win in the end though.
