Amid Brazilian elections, Juninho Pernambucano take a stand against far right candidate Jair Bolsonaro

Kinda long. I'm not going to discuss politics with anyone in here.

People want to elect the "new guy" basically. The problem is that the new guy is Trump 2.0.

  • That's also the only reason Haddad is in even up in the elections, otherwise we would have already elected a new president if he weren't an attention whore that doesn't know how to behave and when to open his mouth.

  • Haddad is a "thief" (Lula, previous president, the guy who's actually going to run it under the rugs if Haddad is elected). It's absurd he's even there. Lula is currently in prison.

Now why is he still a candidate? Besides the obvious reason some people are uneducated, the guy he's against is basically Trump 2.0. So it became a fight for the lesser of two evils.

Bolsonado is far from a politician. He's raw and straight up stupid.

Remember when Trump used to say everything he wanted on TV before he realized he could actually win the election, so he slowed down the absurd comments about Mexicans, etc? That's Bolsonaro.

  • Here's himbefore realizing he was even going to run (in English, but he has more stuff in many TV shows!).

  • And anotha one. Look how happy he's with the attention.

  • He has many more videos, since the 80's, being homophobic and inciting violence.

  • Including saying, more than once, that "minorities should bow down to the majority", or "minorities adapt, or simply vanish".

  • While talking about women's salary and companies avoiding to hire women, when asked "and what do you think about that?". He exlicity said he wouldn't hire a woman with his money, but "there's many competent women out there too". The video is in portuguese tho.

  • He sees immigrants the same way as Trump. World's waste.

  • He was convicted for racist speech.

  • And he's been avoiding any kind of debates, while giving interviews to a different channel.

IIRC now he said he'll do one or two debates. I hope so.

Conclusion in my opinion: one is a puppet thief, the other one showed he's an unstable fuck even before being elected.

After all bad stuff I said about Bolsonaro. If he goes to one single debate and performs reasonably, I'll vote for him. Otherwise I'll vote for the thief.

In the end, the people has the goverment they deserve. They could've picked a different candidate in the first turn. But it's all about memes and fake news now.
