Nah, Snowden is an American hero and even if his pardon is a symbolic one it is still important to a lot of people. Assange is a lost cause, but a symbolic pardon would mean a lot.
Also, what if there is someone sitting at home right now stressed out because they know the real truth about something big in the election but they are afraid to speak out because they saw how whistleblowers are treated. A pardon of two high profile whistleblowers might be enough to inspire more people to do the same.
Whistleblowers are a more powerful tool at draining the swamp than any president getting elected.
The sad reality is that the fact that all these people posting here all have to guess and come up with their own theories only proves that we are far from living in an open democracy.

We don't. We had a constitutional republic...mob rule is wanted by the mob which is what a democracy is.
