The current ruling party of Korea (Moon) is literally Democrats. The previous ruling party was a conservative, but the mainstream media (now mostly left-wing, like in the US) incited anger towards the president for a cruise ship accident in which about 300 high school students died. It is similar to the US media's having blamed Trump for COVID deaths. The media said how she did not send rescue teams properly, which makes no sense to me, because I don't think it is a job of the president. With that anger, they only needed some excuse to impeach the president, like taking bribes from Samsung. All Korean presidents took some form of bribes, I think. The previous president from the Democrats committed a suicide right after his term ended because he was alleged to have received bribes.

What part of "literally" don't you get? The name of the party is literally "Democratic party", or at least it originally was. They kept changing their name slightly like "New-millennium Democratic party" or "Unified Democratic party", etc, so I am not sure what their name currently is exactly. But I see its similarities with the Democratic party of the US.

Pro-Japan, my arse. That's the same as the American left-wing mainstream media keep telling everything non-left-wing, like OAN, is pro-Russian.

you dont get it. 더불어민주당 is mostly centrist. it has very few similarities to us democratic party. i suggest that if you dont speak korean or read korean news, you are uninformed.

that might help you.

also: just becasue they want to reunite w/ north korea doesnt mean they want to be commies.. in case you were wondering.
