They're both hard-core progressives of completely different strains.

Sec. Clinton is a hardcore progressive Democrat from the moderate, Democratic Leadership Council wing of the party. She promotes change by reforming from within institutions.

Sen. Sanders is a hardcore progressive Democrat from the left wing of the party that hearkens back to the days of Henry Wallace and George McGovern. He promotes change by pushing from the outside, but stops short of tearing down institutions.

And they're both fine examples -- archetypes even -- of their own tribe of progressives.
