If what I’m reading is true, then the election of Lula is fantastic news for the working class and the indigenous people. Not that I agree with Lula on everything, but it’s refreshing to see that Bolsonaro’s catering to the 1% is about to end. I hope he won’t disappoint.

What strikes me as the most interesting thing is that Lula only flipped one state despite it swinging by 12 points.

A shame, Lula ran one of the worst campaigns of all time offering literally nothing new but a return to a past that no Brazilian really wanted.

What is worst is that in Brazil, with the worst pr disaster of all time as president and degrading living standards; instead of creating a new path for most to trek the Afro-Brazilian, indigenous, LGBTQ+, and working class leaders among others sold out to an even bigger degree and to a wider scope than is usually seen. For what, a domestic agribusiness and multinational sellout who was destined to win irregardless or their endorsement?

It’s good for the world and for most Brazilians that he is gone, but a future where they move into better living standards is now murky with going to trails passed long ago to take us to this point.
This part reminds me a lot of Biden's campaign. Only difference is that unlike the media narrative, Bolsonaro was not the Trump of the tropics. Pinochet is a much closer comparison but a laissez-faire Durante is a closer comparison to contemporary times.

Does anyone have exit polls about how different demographics voted? I can't find that on the Wikipedia article.
I’m interested too but I’m guessing it was a pretty universal shift left
