Sounds like they might have bystanders, but I can't tell. Would be yet another set of bystanders hit by Antifa last weekend.
rip antifa
Trump using Pelosi as a punching bag for the next 2 years is going to be hella entertaining
“ Democrats won House popular votes by largest midterms margin since Watergate “
By NBC News
Historically the incumbent party loses the Senate and the House by a large margin. The Dems failed to do this. They didn’t take the Senate, and barely took the House.
This attempt to spin it otherwise is a hilarious failure. The “ Popular vote” couldn’t mean less in House races. They’re decided on a local level. This is basic stuff.

How many ppl here don't like the idea of affirmative action? Raise your hands.
How many people here think that the popular vote doesn't count? Raise your hands.
What is I told you the electoral college and the representative democracy system were affirmative action at work?
It's only bad when I don't like it.
Affirmative action is racial discrimination to fulfill arbitrary quotas over merit.
Our representative democracy ensures that a few cites interests don’t rule the whole country. The States of America wouldn’t have joined together without this safeguard. Your comparison isn’t valid.
It's still a type of affirmative action
Bingo ^^^
No it isn’t
Yes it is
Having government Representing your interests isn’t affirmative action
An action by the government to protect the minority
A reminder since this event is in the news again in association with Trump being accused of obstructing Justice by the media.
Trump fired Comey at the recommendation of Attorney General, and Deputy Attorney General, Jeff Sessions and Rod J. Rosenstien for his handling of the conclusion of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, and his refusal to acknowledge his mistakes.
He “ usurped” the Attorney Generals authority on July 5, 2016 by announcing in his conclusion of the case that it should be closed without prosecution. At this press conference he released derogatory information about the subject of a declined criminal investigation. He also cast his decision as a choice between “ speaking “ or “ concealing “ the Clinton emails incorrectly.
This decision to fire Comey was backed by former Attorney and Deputy Attorney Generals Laurence Silberman, Jamie Gorelick, Micheal Mukasey , Eric Holder , Alberto Gonzales, Larry Thompson, and Donald Ayer.
Below is the memo, read it yourselves.

@Exiled Sentinel It might be being used to push a racial motive at the mo but that doesn't change what it is and what it does.
They are both governmental actions to protect the minority
By that logic freedom of speech is affirmative action because it protects unpopular speech. You guys are silly.
Change my mind
I'm not saying it's a bad thing
@Exiled Sentinel Go and eat shit. 'It's only bad when it helps the ppl I don't lik.@
FUCKIN LOL#
Muh representative democracy is affirmative action guys ! If you can’t get on my big brained level you can eat shit<:NPC:500042527231967262>
Tell me why it isn't.
In my country one person equals one vote. Why doesn't it in yours?
it doesnt either in my country
Don't obfuscate.
If it did, the south here would never have a say in anything.
I actually already did..
Why doesn’t our country work like your shitty country? Well, as I’ve said before we have government representatives at a local level. That’s what the House does you simple foreigner. Read up on the basics . The notion that the House should be decided by the popular vote of the country is laughable.

Read a bit up on America maybe
simply because of population number differences
I didn't say I disagree. I said that the electoral collage is a form of affirmative action. I places some ppl above others. If it was pure meritocracy then one persons vote would be worth the same as any others.
Can you explain what the merit of one person one vote is, since it doesnt require any merits whatsoever other then being able to vote which is universal for everyone.
no dur.
So why isn't a persons vote in cal worth as much as one in Viginar? (SP)
Spit it out man!
Affirmative action is arbitrary but people having representation and control of the politics at a local level are not. The House is the counter point to the Senate. It’s a check on the tranny of the majority. If we had a straight popular vote on everything only the cites in a few states would be represented. However the interests of the entire county are vastly different then LA and NY city. Our Republic would literal fall apart.
it would
You keep saying that it’s affirmative action without really proving it. You just point out that it has something vague to do with a smaller group of people.
Freedom of the press has to do with a small group of people. Those that engage in the activities of the press. Is that affirmative action? Is freedom of speech affirmation action because it protects unpopular speech?
You’re watering it down
