Brazil Municipal Elections (November 15th, November 29th, 2020)

As a staunch PT supporter, I'm encouraging people around me to vote 13 up and down the ballot almost everywhere, but I cannot do it for SP. It's amazing how even the biggest PT hacks in Haddad and Lula Facebook accounts are telling them how big an error it was not to support Boulos from the beginning.

In Rio, OTOH, I feel like Paes will be mayor no matter what (big improvement considering who's in charge now) but I'd vote for Benedita. I feel she has the best platform and profile to start rebuilding the left in Rio right now. A pity Freixo decided to give up, but honestly I don't blame him.

And BH, the city where most of my family lives in, is going to be very boring. Khalil has been surprisingly effective and he'll be in in power as long as he wants to, or until he decides he wants to be Governor -and he'd win-. I'd vote PT or PSOL anyway but I'm not taking the effort to convince people around me here.

I'm starting to get worried. Why is it taking so long for the results to be released??

I pretty much agree with what Red Velvet said (btw, great addition to the forum, muito obrigado amigo!) but at the same time I'm too much of a Lula hack not to support PT and keep talking about those "good ol' days". Anyway I'm really looking forward to seeing what Boulos does next. Even if he loses now - which will happen - I believe he has a good chance of becoming our next Lula and building a national movement to crush Bolsonarism in 2022... Well, as we say in Spanish," dreaming is free".
