Faced with reality, they should do something meaningful." "The Democratic Progressive Party authorities, even though they know they cannot join, have been taking people's tax money and smashing their own pockets at the same time, to the point where they have changed into several pockets and are still dissatisfied. Anyway, when asked, they shout slogans and are continuing to work hard!" "The Democratic Progressive Party is completely irresponsible!"
