Regardless of the outcome, it’s hard to find a less inspiring, or unhealthy (can’t quite come up with the words I want here, so these will have to do) election than this one. I read up on the all the major candidates (top 5/6) during the first round, and I honestly don’t know if I’d willingly support any of them. The amount of scandals, conflicts of interest, questionable political decisions, etc. are just ridiculous. I’d certainly like to here some local users viewpoints on the state of Brazilian democracy.

So the same as USA, since Biden was far from a perfect candidate. If you want to compare, Lula is basically Biden trying to contain Bolso/Trump damage, but I'm aware many wouldn't vote for him otherwise.

60% of votes counted. Bolso leads 50,10-49,90. 150k votes margin.

But still many votes from Rio and Sao Paulo

That's why the margin has been decreading so slowly. Bolso still can win with these 2 states alone.

[vinipereira 3,055]

With 67,76% of votes counted, Lula surpasses Bolsonaro.

I wish the best to happen for the people of Brazil and I assume Bolsonaro is actually the worst, not the best.

 

people here remember "Lula" as being a friend of Mahmoud AN (the worst human being for me) hard to cheer for him but still I assume anything is better than Bolsonaro.

It's always nice to have your opinion, politics or wrestling

Btw, that is far earlier than most projections had (Lula was expected to surpass Bolso only with 88% counted votes), although they certainly didn't expect São Paulo and Rio to be so slow in the counting. Bolso still can win.

Without Pernambuco I see more areas not counted where Bolso is leading

I'm going to have a heart attack.
