South Korea sets snap election date for June 3

[BeatMan]

South Korea will hold snap elections on June 3 to plug the power vacuum created by the recent removal of President Yoon Suk Yeol, the nation's acting leader, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, announced Tuesday.

The announcement comes days after South Korea's Constitutional Court upheld the impeachment of Yoon over his brief and chaotic imposition of martial law in December 2024.

South Korea's law states that an election must be held to replace an ousted president within 60 days.

The elections are key to restoring political stability to Asia's fourth-largest economy amid slowing growth and an emerging global trade war.

Han said that ministries are making "preparations to ensure an election that is fairer and more transparent than ever, and one that can earn the trust of the people."

The Democratic Party of Korea needs to be exterminated.

The Democratic Party of Korea needs to be exterminated.

I'm sure that you're going to be first in the line to do it. Right?

Something about the Democratic Party of Korea has always rubbed me the wrong way.

So fucking what. They're people, with an ideology that's different from yours. That doesn't mean they should be "exterminated."

For you to suggest they should be indicates you think they're like vermin or animals.

And I'm sure that you'll be the first one to lead the assault. Right? Or are you going to leave that to others while you sit home on the couch and wave a beer at the TV screen while cheering the lynch mob on?
