You do realize what will be lost if the Republicans take the WH? If you don't, you really don't get it. Bernie has NO power to actually make any of the changes he advocated without control of both Houses of Congress and those people ARE NOT there and WILL NOT be elected. The whole Bernie thing is backwards.
The Patriot Act, voted on by our duly-elected representatives, allows for all of what has happened. I don't like the Patriot Act and think much of it is overreaching and just plain wrong for America. Nevertheless, in my opinion Mr Snowden has committed treason. If he really believed that what he has done is the right thing to do, he would also be ready to face the full consequences of his act for the good of the cause. Of course he will now be used as a bargaining chip between nations.
