I love that the officer down emote is the closest thing we have to party poppers btw

This seems like a good thing but I'm not well educated in this area. Are there any Brazilians here, or people who know a lot about Brazilian politics that can tell me if this will benefit the people of Brazil, or if this is a "both sides kinda suck and will submit to the ruling class eventually" kind of deal like we see with western countries? I am kind of skeptical of electoralism after being burned so many times in my own country, but maybe Brazil is different?

Hell yeah global south can have little a socdem as a treat

I thought the fascist dude would steal the election via CIA/Mossad fuckery, but seeing as how so many US vassals are already congratulating Lula, I guess they think (both) Bolsanaro(s) ain't shit.

What happened here in the last few weeks is historic. Never before have we mobilised so effectively against fascism.

Lula has a lot of problems. But today, we, the Brazilian people, made history together. We stopped the tide of fascism and showed that we are not pushovers. We are our own people and we will command our history

Hell yeah, go Brazil

How fucking embarrassing does it have to be for Bolsonaro?

Imagine being far-right AND losing an election! You lot are supposed to be invincible!

he's on that Le Pen grind

Is way better than USA, the dispute was liberal vs comprador. Lula government can't fix the problems but surely is better than the guy selling us out to the USA

Correct take. Not a fan of Lula, but this is a very important victory for the working class in Brazil.

That gives me a little hope

BRICSed up

Lula is a Left-Wing Socdem, he's pro-palestine, he does have some neoliberal tedencies but he'll protect Brazil's rare minerals and amazon rainforest. He's also really big in pro-workers rights and lgbtq+rights, like the woman who created the law that reduces the working schedule to 2x5, instead of 1x6, was a trans woman who is a close ally of Lula. Basically he save Brazil from being sold out. He's also a historic figure who fought the military junta and basically helped topple the goverment (back then he was a radical pro-soviet union socialist and he ran like that in 1989 and almost won), he had to moderate his goverment and speech to win the 2002 and 2006 elections.

Something good happened 🤯

The US and zionazis can Eat shit

Now let's see how long before Lula suddenly gets a US arrest warrant on his head for drugs or something stupid

i was NOT expecting this but brazil stays not-nazi fuck usians fuck bolsonaro viva o nordeste. seething bolsonarists make me happy in itself.

Northeast's been hard carrying against the facist tide in this removed for the last two elections. It's a sad state of affairs, not good, however, hope lives still.

No-lsonaro

Immediately you should pivot to opposing this neo-liberal and his agenda.

news@hexbear is a crap shoot. Sometimes I'm fully onboard with the hexbears, sometimes we disagree pretty hard. Today, I'm glad shit brain lost.

Me when I tell a trans person they need to support a transphobic politician and get dogpiled for it

I'm also glad shit brain lost, but I'm not letting an anti-communist transphobe like you sit at my table so you can fuck right off.

That's more like it

It is impossible for you to be fully on board with us

Fuck off transphobic fascist piece of shit we do not need or want your approval.
