Why Lee Jae-myung became a non-mainstream figure in the Democratic Party

Every lawmaker and party member
was part of the mainstream, advocating for "Pro-Lee"
But then, claiming they would
re-elect the administration
and talking about expanding the party's reach and structural majorities,
they appointed suspicious figures
like Lee Un-ju, Lee Byeong-tae, and Lee Seok-yeon;
they crushed prosecution reform;
and because people criticized that,
they asked Jung Chung-rae if he was "Anti-Lee";
they told Rhyu Si-min
that "pigs only see other pigs";
and while sending Kim Min-seok to the party,
they blatantly took sides,
saying he would likely excel in other roles as well.
...
Looking back,
before anyone knew it,
he had become
a non-mainstream figure in the Democratic Party.
They need to change direction even now,
but because lawmakers,
including Elder Park Jie-won, flatter him incessantly,
they think he is doing a good job.
Lawmaker approval is at its peak,
but public approval is at its lowest.
This is the reality.
