This will go down as Flavio Bolsonaro’s 'basket of deplorables' moment. In Brazil, it's common to hear vitriol against Lula: crook, corrupt, etc, all of which is considered banal
Flavio, however, succumbed to the worst caricature of the Brazilian Right by calling Lula '9 Fingers'–an epithet used by elite opponents to refer to the former metalworker who lost a finger at 17
Lula aptly seized on this to attack Flavio for being raised raised in a gated community, never laboring a day in his life and insulting him and workers
It may well have boosted his numbers in the run-off

Bro really won the first round and lost in the second for the first time in history. Calling him the The Atlanta Flávios from now on.

if i lived in the cyberpunk world i'd slime someone out for 500 eddies and get a mouth that doesn't have to be brushed all the time and then go back to a regular depressing 9 to 5 and do kinda fine

Every time I live through yet another Brazilian election I can’t but marvel at an electoral system that can count 120 million votes in a single evening. Take a bow, Brazil

In the end, Brazil really did teach the United States a lesson. They jailed the fascist, and then they defeated his political heir.

Lula wins, and it wasn’t particularly close — 3.5% or more than 4 million votes.
It’s an epic comeback and we will need time to fully understand it. But one thing is clear — the extension in voting hours was not the difference maker in this race.
