Obama was always very pro-establishment. They just ran the perfect campaign for him in 2008 cause he was an outsider and they pushed things with progressive grass roots organizations. As soon as he won, they dismantled all of that. He even said so on his campaign that he wasn't really focused on ending the war in Afghanistan. There was just little focus on that and after 8 years of Bush, people wanted something different.
Is she a radical Marxist who is going to push a revolution? Of course not. SocDems aren't that. She is to the left of the establishment Democrats who are pushed so far to the right that they would be conservatives in any other country.
