They have to do better than this. 21 blacked out points? If the secrets are spilled let us see the points. If this is true, we need more than truth is that we would never know how badly our Fourth Amendment was shattered without Snowden. If he did other bad things, the burden is on the law breakers who created this illegal system. Not on the whistleblower.

All these organizations care about is preventing another Snowden, and they've concluded the best way to do that is to show the lengths they will go to demonize a whistle-blower.
Effective and chilling. This is our country.

...just try to imagine how fucking bent against its own people a corrupt government has to be to try so hard to kill the whistleblowers

I’ve been in some rather diverse communities online and I have never encountered anyone who believes the government’s official stance on Snowden. Not a single person.
They must be out there. I recall Trump saying he considers Snowden a traitor. He probably wouldn’t say that unless he knew a lot of people felt the same way. I haven’t heard from any of these people outside of government officials and law enforcement though.
Is there a recent poll anywhere showing how average Americans feel on this?
I’m betting most Americans are barely familiar with the issue and don’t care. I think Trump denounced Snowden to win support from law enforcement on something no one else cares about.
