I really wish neither would win and both would be barred from running again. But since that won't happen, let's just keep looking for opportunities abroad
Once again, a clear anti-Bolsonaro vote from the majority of the electorate. Lula won because he got last-minute support from the moderates and even some right-wingers. It certainly does not feel like a victory of the left.
Now he will face a much bigger opposition in Congress and therefore will have to find a middle ground.
I expect his policies to move even further to the right. This might pave the way for his vice-president Alckmin, a historical right-winger, to run in the 2030 elections — likely against São Paulo’s governor Tarcísio de Freitas, also a right-winger and considered more moderate than the Bolsonaros despite being associated with them.
This was the first time I saw a major mainstream media outlet prominently feature a statistical predictive model live during the vote count (and it was spot on): https://www.estadao.com.br/politica/eleicoes/em-tempo-real-p...
The New York Times has "the needle" for major elections.

Thank God. The Amazon gets to borrow a little more time.

Fabio is the son, Jair Bolsonaro is the past president.
Why?
Who would you rather have seen running instead?
Is no one under 80 competent to lead the country?
Asking for a friend...
Congrats Brazil!
Why the flagging?
Why was this flagged? It seems relevant
There've been a half dozen of these popping onto the home page; probably flagged as dupes.
We did it! ^^

What's his deal with being pro-Putin? Kind of weird unless it's the usual corruption.
Most south americans consider imperialism from the north the major concern today as yesterday and think the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Plus, tankies are a thing.
> What's his deal with being pro-Putin?
Currently looks smart. Brazil’s one security concern is seemingly in Putin’s pocket.
Thank fuck
