Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Didn’t Bolsonaro declare the election would be fraudulent, like, two years ago? I think he’s been prepping for a coup from day one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Sounds like there's a coup/rigging attempt happening. The national traffic police are stopping public transit in areas where Lula is strong, hoping to aid Bolsonaro. The courts have forbid this, but 🤷♂️. Orders came from President's office.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Voting is "mandatory" in Brazil though the penalty for not voting without providing justification is the equivalent of <US $1. From what I've read, there are about 30 million recorded "null" votes which are effectively absentions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya that sounds like the usual "I don't like politics but ya kno Trump (Bolso) has some good ideas." I'm happy he lost. Bitterly disappointed how close it was.

There was a not-insignificant amount of corruption (especially involving the state oil company Petrobras) during his term of office. Also, he's a leftist who improved conditions for Brazil's non-white population and underclass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
