All I have to say about the election in Brazil is that both candidates are slavishly subservient to Putin and both hate Ukraine. Beyond that, I’m not interested in examining the slightly different shades of Brazilian right-wing and left-wing turd.
Brazil is screwed but that’s nothing new.

This was my conclusion after some light investigation. I’m sure there are differences meaningful to people actually living in Brazil but I’m not going to pretend I can have any insight into this as a total outsider.

South and Central America have been swaying between the far right and the far left for a century. The results are terrible but there’s no will to stop.
The extremes of the left and the right are near identical, so there’s never any actual change in these countries.

I don’t know much about Brazil either, but I loathe Bolsonaro. I just hate populists; doesn’t matter left-wing or right-wing.
