While Sanders is unquestionably further to the left than Clinton when it comes to banking reform and foreign policy, in most areas their differences are a question of degree. Sanders supports single-payer health-care proposals, while Clinton wants to expand Obamacare; Clinton plans to make college more affordable, while Sanders wants to make it free. But there are areas where Sanders is noticeably out of step with progressives. He has suggested that immigrants take citizens' jobs and voted against a 2007 immigration reform bill that Clinton supported. He has also repeatedly voted against gun control laws, including mandatory waiting periods to buy a gun, and supported a bill that protects gun manufacturers from being sued when their guns are used to commit crimes. Clinton has consistently voted for gun control. But progressive analysts and voters alike seem to give Sanders a free pass on these issues when comparing him to Clinton.
