Brazil (Pokémon) Goes To The Polls
    #27977881 - 10/02/22 11:03 AM (1 year, 7 months ago)

The month long election season for Brazil begins today, with social democrat and Workers Party leader Lula de Silva with a strong lead in the polls going up against President Jair “I can’t stop getting Covid” Bolsonaro.

There’s a slim chance Lula may pull out a win in the first round, but because of the dozen or so other parties running candidates, it will likely go to a runoff between himself and Bolsonaro.


Bolsonaro has threatened a military coup if he loses so who knows how this is going to shake out, but here’s the thread for all things Brazil, South/Latin America, and stuff like that.

Who ya got?

I have never seen such coordination in the media to politically execute someone like Bolsonaro.

Basically, because he didn't want to lock down for covid he is Nazi. I have never read a story in English about him that was positive in the least. "Well that is because he is a nazi, duhh" <repeat> Everyone that is not a leftist seems to be considered a threat to democracy now.

I can't imagine Lula not winning in this inflationary environment in South America. Just not cultures of strong individualism so when things go south the cultural lean towards family and local community expresses itself in collectivism politically.

If the media "coordinated a political execution of Bolsonaro" then you would not know his name.

This is yet another case of an unpopular far right candidate that spent what, six years? Breaking things and generally making life bad for others, who now might now actually face some modicum of accountability to the voters.

Definitely not something Bolsonaro planned. I don't think he was expecting to have to win another election ever again.

The US media, despite his parallels with trump, has been pretty gracious towards Bolsonaro.

They would absolutely prefer him to Lula and the PT being in power.

I wouldn't describe US media as "ungracious" when it comes to Trump, either. If they were, we wouldn't know his name besides a bunch of random bit acting credits and shitty apartments.

Agreed.




Polls closed about 30 minutes ago in Brazil for the first round of voting, and results are beginning to trickle in. If someone gets at least 50% +1 votes they win the presidency, if no candidate does then it will go to a runoff election.

With about 70% of precincts reporting, Lula has a slight lead over Bolsonaro, but it looks like a runoff is all but a certainty.

Runoff election would happen on October 30th.

Much closer margin than previously expected (I’m sure the widespread voter suppression had a good deal to do with it), which means bolsonaro’s party still has leverage in the legislature.
