Korea does capitalist oligarchy even harder than the US. like I don't think there's a quality about Korea that makes it a nobler country, I think there's something fundamentally and bizarrely wrong with America right now

Many Dems are beholden to industries and rich people who think Trump will benefit them. Is there any parallel in Korea?

Dems are doing all they can without majorities power, bc voters saw fit to give that to Republicans.
While Republican get a pass, even tho Republicans can stop this circuses for example if they so wish.
Both parties just went to favoring urban votes.
When I first learned about chaebols and read up on corporate power and consolidation there it was like something out of a capitalist satire.
Then I learned about the Moonies and oh boy.
No more condescension.
Strong actions putting Lee Jae-yong in jail for all of 207 days. That’ll show ‘em!
Not to mention Park being pardoned in 2021.
Sit down.
You lot failed to prosecute Trump. You were given four years.
We're done with you. Suffer the price of your own hubris and arrogance.
Both Korea and The US have major flaws in their 'democracy' and are just thinly veiled oligopolies.
Let's also not forget, dictatorships are easy to return to.
Of course we have problems. We're working on it. In the meantime, get off your high horse.
The people that vote for them will vote for financial suicide over someone that doesn't look like them getting a dollar.
This is the Unified Field Theorem of the last 80 years of American social and political science.
It explains everything from our politics to the replication crisis.
Canada found a better balance than we did, and they're somewhat more stable for it.
Can't pick sides if you're concerned about profit margins over all else.
A great many people are having a difficult time grasping this extremely basic concept for some reason.

So many little white fascist idiots, it is easy to forget one.
But I did want to compliment you for your ability to use gifs with Trump's balls in your mouth.
The Dem’s need a FDR like person in charge, to get its mojo back.
We need entirely new leadership. Root and branch.
It's the "safer"parent in an abusive home, who doesn't abuse you themselves, but doesn't stop the abuser either.
Daily for money!
Shit on Dems.
You are worse than useless.
All of it CAN be summed up with the cringe idea yea
Yeah, unfortunately "it's cringe" has become a criticism here.
The national Democratic Party has been out to lunch for decades.
"Get the parties out of politics.
Get the politicians out if politics.
Get the politics out of politics.
Everything, including politics, is too politicized."
And also the political class believes that whatever the public chooses is right and shouldn’t be fight against. ‘Trump won legitimately so it’s right what he does regardless of what it is’
The center left is the universal reactionary, only acting as if the public is a monolith, an unreachable sphinx, despite the obvious changes in their views over time.
Same deal with the GOP — they ran MAGA—
