Brazilian presidential and general elections 2022 (1st round: October 2nd, 2nd round: October 30th)

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

Btw, right-wingers are already crying 'fraud' and saying that Bolsonaro should refuse to accept the results on multiple platforms.

Like it or not we now live in a time-line where 'the right' has decided that any election they don't win is a rigged election. Dangerous times.

Meanwhile, here's a typical response from the fascist dweeb club:

President Bolsonaro, the People of Brazil, the United States, and the World are with you. You know what needs to be done:
Declare Martial Law.
Authorize Military Police to arrest and incarcerate the Corrupt Supreme Court.
Call your Supporters to the Streets. Millions will answer the call.
Send in the Tanks to quell any pockets of Insurrection.
Have the Illegally Annulled Votes counted and Declare a Legitimate Electoral Victory!

Oh, and a reply that also has a net positive amount of votes:

Lula needs to be jailed or killed. Don’t give the opposition a figure to rally behind

These people are treasonous lunatics whether in Brazil or the US.

[Oakvale]

When I read story of Brasil, I fall in love with Jair, life and tragic death. I'm so sad brazilian people forgot it and vote only for leftist or liberal parties.

Lula's tweet will likely hit a million likes after only an hour lol.

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%

Because of the Northeast counting faster than the non-metro Southeast, right? Does anyone have a graph of the runoff trendline by any chance?

Anyway, here's a flashback of President-elect Lula da Silva and VP-elect Alckmin from 16 years ago

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.

Well, no, you actually proposed literally eliminating the Brazilian people's democratic freedom to elect their President, & that obviously isn't equivalent to just "simply voic[ing your] frustration with the results," hence why I'm still waiting for a legitimate answer from you since all I asked you is how you think anti-democratic fascism would somehow be the PRO-freedom outcome here, which is only a loaded question with the symptom-tinted glasses of being utterly unable to f**king cope

(And LMAO you can't just dodge the issue by claiming that those of us rightly expressing utter disgust at your take are derailing the thread because this purportedly isn't a thread for discussing whether or not the suspension of democracy is a good idea when you're literally the one who started this whole mess, lol the absolute audacity produced by cope incapability)

The official position of this forum is that democracy is a positive good, suspending democracy because an election goes the 'wrong' way is bad, and that you're a whiny little fascist creep. It's fine not to like the outcome of an election. We've all experienced that! It is not fine to react to that with a stated desire to impose an actual dictatorship.

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.

Yeah, Zema's best chance to win the presidency would probably be if Bolsonaro didn't run and Tarcisio decided to skip the presidential election to run for reelection in São Paulo (I sincerely think Moro doesn't matter, he is a weak candidate). I guess Zema could probably also benefit from leaving Novo, for varied reasons, the party did poorly this year, so they won't have free ad time (at least during the first round) and the organizers of debates won't need to invite their candidates.

If Bolsonaro runs or Tarcisio runs and gets Bolsonaro's backing, I have a hard time seeing a Zema candidacy going anywhere, in that case, I'd probably try going for a senate seat if I were him.

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

1. This is more of a political forum than anything.
2. I love freedom.

[DaleCooper]

I'm so glad that there are several dozen posts in response to one of the forum's most dumb and boring posters. You really did own him with facts and logic, or whatever. I'm sure he learned his lesson and will be more reasonable in the future. Seriously, do you people ever learn?

Anyway, congratulations to Lula on the hard-fought victory.

[Vice President Christian Man]

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.

I wanted Lula to win with a larger margin so that he would be unopposed and succeed in strengthening the BRICS/alliance with China and Russia. Lula will continue with neutrality in Ukraine and, if we are lucky, he will become more pro-China-Russia.

I already had the opportunity to warmly congratulate @LulaOficial for his election as President of the Republic of Brazil. I look forward to our work together in the coming years with great enthusiasm, in favor of #Portugal and #Brazil, but also around great global causes.

Lula is basically a generic liberal lol. His running mate is even a centrist.
