Stop derailing the thread with loaded questions and saying "cope". This is not a thread debating whether suspending elections is good or bad. I simply voiced my frustration with the results.

And advocated for a coup.

Globo and Record are calling it for Lula.

You brought it up. Stop throwing rocks and hiding your hand. Not only are your political views basically satanic, you're also dim and unlikeable. Pick a struggle.

Lula: 59,563,912 (50.83%)
Bolsonaro: 57,627,462 (49.17%)
98.81% REPORTING

GLOBO CALLS IT

Obrigado, Rede Globo!

After all the big money spent, the State machine being used to abusive excesses for his re-election, the fake news, the physical threats violence people were scared about, if Lula wins this to any margin he’s already a major hero to me.

It would be the first time an incumbent is defeated after seeking re-election, it would be huge if it really happens. Whatever problem is next doesn’t matter, I will cry my heart out on the streets if Bozo really loses this. I know it will be close though.

THE GREATEST COMEBACK!!! THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND

OUR LULA
DESPITE IT ALL, THE VICTOR

Make no mistake fellow bloggers, the deck was totally stacked against him, despite the disturbingly close margin, this is still a Goliath victory for HUMANITY

No, you weren't, you were advocating for a suspension of democracy in a country that already went through a brutal right-wing dictatorship before. So enjoy your Bolsonaro loss, because Lula has just been elected by the people.

You love to see it:

Well glad the absolute worst outcome has been avoided. Still, not exactly a result to fill us with confidence about the future. We'll see how things go in the next 4 years, I guess (hoping Bolsonaro doesn't do a coup).

The military already said they won’t. The Supreme Court said they won’t allow.

The US military has extensive contacts with the Brazilian military. US secretary of defense Lloyd Austin has called several times over the last few months.

Current consensus by international experts. There’s no evidence to suggest the coup or the military will support one.

What I am afraid of is a repeat of Jan 6th by Bolso supporters as a FU to Lula, spurred on by Bolso himself

The PSDB gained the vice-presidency and lost Sao Paulo.
A mixed bag for the tucanos, isn't it?

Some historic facts:

- It was the closest election in Brazilian history, 50.9-49.1%;

- Lula is the first President to be democratically elected to a nonconsecutive 3rd term (Getúlio Vargas doesn't count as he was a dictator in his first term);

- Bolsonaro is the first President to lose a reelection bid;

- Lula is on course to win a record 60 million votes;

You were trolling. You advocated to suspend elections and install dictatorship. Which is a  offense that can get you banned. You can voice frustration with results but not with democracy itself. I really hope you are just some edgy kid.

He's no longer from the PSDB. He's now a PSB member.

I agree; that shouldn't be a permissible subject of debate on this forum.

I have been busy all afternoon and early evening and haven't been available to watch this nearly as closely as the first round, but very glad and relieved to see Lula projected to win the runoff. Hoping there is enough internal support within the military and other key sectors of the government to prevent a self-coup by Bolsonaro.

Oh.
Scratch that, then. The PSB is a big winner in these elections in any case.

Any time the diet-fascists of the alt-right are disappointed, you know it's a good night.

Well, if the final result is 50.9-49.1 then my prediction of 51.5-49.5 was less than 1% off. Another feather in the cap 😎

Lula: 55,189,618 (50.58%)
Bolsonaro: 53,923,613 (49.42%)
91.89% REPORTING

Haha USERS said Lula trendline wouldnt continue, ha, he who laughs have the last laugh.

We said that it wouldn't continue like it did in the 1st round and we were right. Otherwise Lula would be ahead by ~3-4%, not less than 1%

Side note, Zema is likely to try to become president in 2026, of the three people trying to carry the right wing banner (Tarcisio, Zema and Moro), I think he'd be the strongest.

Zema definitely comes off as the DeSantis to Bolsonaro's Trump and just like DeSantis his biggest problem is that he can't win the right against Bolsonaro and he'll have a hard time against a Bolsonaro-backed opponent even if he'd probably be the strongest option in the second round against anyone the left could pull out.

You can probably rest easy. The 1964 coup occurred in a context where the US was strongly concerned about communism. Biden would very readily oppose any coup from Bolsonaro and the military already said there won't be a coup.

But why... even sign up to a forum about elections if you hate democracy and freedom?
