Well, they're NOT!Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have escalated the feud over their progressive records, as the former secretary of state accused Sanders of having “set himself up to be the gatekeeper of who is a progressive”.
Appearing at a town hall event in New Hampshire at the end of a day that saw the two candidates for the Democratic nomination publicly clash after Sanders accused Clinton of only being progressive “on some days”, both talked up their liberal appeal.
Clinton defended her record during the town hall on Wednesday, saying that under Sanders’s definition, the president, Barack Obama, and vice-president, Joe Biden, would not even be considered progressives.

And neither is she.
I guess the whole thing comes down to your definition of progressive, but in my definition, a progressive isn't funded by Goldman Sachs and the rest of Wall Street. Nor does a progressive constantly vote to enter into combat and fund war. Nor favor handing the final coup to corporations that is the TPP and the TransCanada pipeline. Nor allow the insurance companies to make health care policy. Nor sit on the board of WalMart.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
