The People’s Burden Party Is Destroying Itself Through Its Own Stupidity

The Poll Numbers Tell the Whole Story

The People’s Burden Party’s standard argument is that the Democratic Party is abusing its majority in the National Assembly and unilaterally controlling the judiciary, the executive branch and the legislature. They claim they have been wronged because they have had no opportunity to accomplish anything.

Yoon Geon-hee also claimed that the president’s attempted coup had nothing to do with his own actions and was instead the Democratic Party’s fault.

It is the filthy, pathetic excuse of someone who has wanted to be king all his life.

Let us examine this argument. Why does the Democratic Party hold the majority in the National Assembly? Its lawmakers were elected by the people; they did not seize their seats through the coups favored by the People’s Burden Party. In other words, this was the choice of the people and a reflection of their will.

That means that, whatever the decision may be, it must first be accepted as the will of the people and respected.

The minority party cannot block it with fabricated pretexts.

That is how our democratic system works. The opposition is free to express its views, but it cannot obstruct the will of the people as represented by their elected lawmakers.

Why Are the People’s Burden Party’s Approval Ratings at Rock Bottom?

The People’s Burden Party has no empathy. It neither knows nor cares what the public is thinking right now.

If the party has no interest in the people and the people have no interest in the party, how could it possibly win public support? Given the circumstances, the surprising thing would be if it did.

Even as all of Yoon Suk Yeol’s schemes are coming to light—including his tired, decades-old red-baiting and his attempts to use his underlings to fabricate charges against his political enemies—the party continues to insist that Lee Jae-myung is unquestionably guilty and that the Democratic Party is passing whatever laws it can to protect him.

It has even dismissed constitutional amendments that explicitly set out measures to prevent insurrection, insisting that they are really “laws to save Lee Jae-myung.”

It is hard to escape the conclusion that this is a party that truly loves insurrection and coups.

How contemptuously do they regard the public if they fail to realize that their clumsy campaign of lies and false accusations has been completely exposed—and yet continue to insist on it?

Their approval ratings are at rock bottom,

but because they do not understand why their support has collapsed, they keep dusting off arguments from the 1980s and repeating the same stubborn denials.

The public is exhausted by the People’s Burden Party’s mean-spirited and low-minded tactics.

Why do they refuse to look to the future?

Why do they not develop new policies to keep the Democratic Party in check?

Why are they still obsessed with the stale, old-fashioned nostalgia of the 1980s?

There is no sign anywhere that they are making any effort to improve their politics.

“The Stock Market Rose Even With Yoon Suk Yeol in Power”?

Anyone can invent a story built around an “if.” But if Yoon Suk Yeol had remained in power, I suspect countless people would already have died under the boots of the judiciary and the military. As for the rising stock market, perhaps only soju companies’ shares would have climbed, while everything else would have been in a disastrous state.

Why only soju companies?

Soju would have been flying off the shelves amid the grief and suffering of so many people. And given Yoon Suk Yeol’s fondness for drinking, would he not have held drinking parties every day?

All while failing to notice that the country was falling apart.

People’s Burden Party, Get Your Act Together

Take a hard look at yourselves and ask why the public sees you as a burden.

Consider what people are thinking and what matters to them. Take an honest look at the era you are living in, and try to say at least one thing that shows you understand the public.

I am not criticizing you because I am particularly fond of the Democratic Party.

I am criticizing you because you have performed so poorly in the role entrusted to you that I have no choice.

Please, for once, come to your senses.
