You're confusing loudness with popularity. Which of Sanders and Clinton was the moral crusader?
Obama didn't go on a moral crusade either. He portrayed himself as "the adult in the room" (as Jon Stewart described him). He's pretty much the poster-boy for the modern mainstream left. Extremely centrist, get smart guys to find cost-effective solutions, F morality. (As was most evident with the drone-bombing campaign.)
