The Democratic Party has GOT to Address the Unfair 2016 Democratic Primary Season

I'm sincere. See my comment earlier.

I could only take so much disappointment in dealing with the Democratic Party. If you are willing to keep trying to help reform them, more power to you, but I'm concerned that they would be nearly impossible to reform, especially by how little variation in opinions that I see between the main Democrats. I'm concerned in that it looks to me like they act like they are all overly pressured to absolutely stick together on everything, instead of having their own independent public opinions.

I disagree that Trump is exact opposite of Bernie. See TPP and trade reform. You may think this is minor, but I think it is an unbelievably important thing to be similar on. I believe that's where the wealth/income inequality (one of Bernie's key issues) is stemming from.

Think about it. Manufacturing jobs get outsourced to the developing world, under a free trade agreement. They hardly pay the workers there much, so the wealth isn't going to them. The wealth disappears from the U.S. worker who no longer has their job. Where does the wealth go? Try the investors in the company. What types of people likely have a disproportionate amount of money in investments? The already-wealthy, I believe.

The Democrats brought us TPP. Thus, I believe the Democrats would have brought us more income/wealth inequality, again, a key Bernie issue.

It is very unusual for a major U.S. politician to be against one of these trade deals, and it also seems very unusual for one of these deals to be stopped. Yet Trump was against TPP, and he seems to have stopped it.

Thus, I think there is more overlap between Trump and Bernie, on some of the most important issues, than people give credit for.
