Can't wait for the Infowars-like theories that will be going on regarding this policy.
To quote Rachel Maddow : Russia, Russia ... Russia russia russia, Russian, Russia, Putin, Russia

His real value would have been in the sheer data, and I honestly don't believe he kept that on him. He'd been found dead in a ditch in like 2 second if anyone on the world believed he ever had those things on him after he left Hong Kong.
And the only thing he wants, to go back without getting prosecuted, is the thing Russia can't give him.
Not even really sure why people care so much about Snowden anymore, dude did this thing and he's now little more than a living historical footnote.
So someone can blow the identities of undercover operatives, thus putting their lives in great danger and not be prosecuted for it? Don't think I agree with this one.
I really wouldn't use "hero" to describe a Ron Paul fan who didn't seem to have a problem with any policies until a black guy took office.
Sanders continuing to show why he's the one it's gotta be
also red-baiting a hero who helped expose the surveillance state on first page very normal and cool and fine
Also yes

because the issue at hand is not one of economic or regulatory policy
or maybe because he's edward snowden
It's amazing how you guys keep pretending a Mafia state in 2019 has anything to do with communism or socialism.
Good shit by Bernie, hes really trying to win me back after I symbolically switched my support to Warren
its incredible how much people love to defend the disgusting aspects of the US state
People who expose the worst aspects of a tyranical bloated disaster of a country deserve credit, at least in that regard.
I get hating on Assange cause he really drank the kool aid...
but Snowden? Manning?

Cool. Maybe we should make a thread if Ron Paul agrees with Bernie about weed.
He didn't do that, he gave documents to journalism that exposed massive government surveillance... you're thinking of Manning
(Why does this keep happening)
Did Ron Paul smoke the fattest blunt in modern American history?
Asshole who accidentally did an ok thing.
Chelsea "I had to disappear from public life because I kept hanging out with Nazis" Manning?
I know. But is revealing agent names just whistleblowing or straight up treason? Because these are different things.
Whatever you think of Snowden as a person, what he did was whistleblowing. And a very positive thing.
Read the article I linked above.
A fun quote from Snowden's chatlogs (THH=Snowden
Smear Merchants be out here doing nothing if not consistently asserting false equivalencies in an attempt to will their reality into existence
Snowden is a well known libertarian and supporter of white supremacists like Ron Paul.
The traitor Snowden is a Russian asset who gave all the super secrets to Vladimir Putin, he's a stooge and deserves to be executed for his crimes against the just United States.
...What smear? Snowden himself is open about his libertarian world view, support of Ron Paul, and so forth. I'm not the one willing reality into existence.
Listen, man, I don't disagree with you. But I find the framing of your initial point disingenuous. "Why do we care what (Edward Snowden) thinks?" Because he's so obviously relevant to the topic at hand. In your understandable and, in my case, informative pursuit to discredit Snowden, you've (inadvertently, I assume) made the appearance of trying to discredit the OP. Should we listen to Edward Snowden's politics? Of course not. But I don't think that there's much libertarian spin in a single-word reaction, and I think that its inclusion in the thread effectively frames the significance of Sanders's pledge.
