This is an interesting assessment of events in Brazil.
I suspect that, when the final decision was made, more Brazilians preferred Lula—who, for all his faults, still represents the old Brazil (coastal, Catholic, Portuguese, SoDem)—over another Bolsonaro, who embodies the newer Americanization trend in Latin America, complete with its neo-Pentecostal craziness.
In a sense, Lula stands for traditional Brazilian culture and mores, whereas Bolso reeks of foreign influence and distinctly un-Brazilian ideas.
Explaining the political parties of Brazil to Americans is wild because you can be a member of
-the Liberal Party
-the Brazilian Social Democracy Party
-the Social Democratic Party
-the National Labour Party
-the Progressives
And still be on the political right. – at Douglasville, GA

The infamous "WET YOURSELF..." Super Mario Sunshine print ad is often posted online without context, leading many to believe it is fake or fan-made. However, it is very much real, appearing on page 130 of issue 119 of the British Nintendo Official Magazine.

The Republican candidate, Trey Sheppard, is running a robust campaign, especially in majority black Washington County where his family owns a large and prominent trucking company. Will be a race to watch.
British Columbia is not Canada's most leftwing province. It's basically right in the middle for CA politics. Vancouver is leftwing, but most of the rest of the province is right-leaning. It's like a MI, WI, or PA.

This poll has both a racial split of 52% White (54% Weighted) and 34% Black (36%). It will be Whiter than that.
It also has Dolezal winning 36% of Black voters. That won't happen.
Junk poll, no matter if Dolezal actually wins or not. – at Douglasville, GA

With all the scrutiny given to places in the South named for Confederate leaders and soldiers, it's kind of wild that counties in Georgia and Mississippi named for Senior Officer of the Army James Wilkinson, aka Agent 13 of the Spanish Empire, manage to escape controversy. – at Douglasville, GA
