Bernie might want to repeal TPP, but he'd do that because he's against trade. The EFF is against some of the riders attached to TPP especially around intellectual property and digital rights management. No current candidate has a record that is at all aligned with the EFF on this.
A more direct problem is that as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, the EFF is forbidden to directly endorse candidates.
No, Bernie sanders is not "against trade". He's "against" ceding elements of our sovereignty to unaccountable transnational corporations and the "trade" bodies that have sprung up to protect them.
Not sure that thats true. And I'm not super interested in a prolonged semantic argument that would sort it out. I'll just note that the "elements of sovereignty" I was referring to are transnational corps attacking nation-states for enacting laws that would protect their populations but would cut into corporate profits. Many examples of which already exist, like, say, the cigarette labelling laws of Austraila and Togo. Or environmental protection laws in Canada (and else where). These are not the sorts of "sovereignty" one negotiates away in the traditional westphailian system of nation states.

You might want to reconsider what you said because it makes no sense. Bernie most certainly isn't against "trade". Maybe FTAs that sign away our rights and jobs, sure, but not all such treaties are bad.
