    Lula reminds me of Biden in so many ways

    He’s not popular. He doesn’t do much to actually improve the lives of Brazilians. He just returned to, and maintained, the old status quo

    If he weren’t running against a family of fascists, he’d have no chance, especially considering he’s 80. Sick of the octogenarians running for office

    Now because of him, Flavio may become president. Yes, a whole lot of people are to blame, but him, like Biden, us most to blame. Greedy old men wanting to cling onto power as long as possible

      People still think running a “I’m not Trump” campaign is a winning strategy despite it failing every time somebody tries it. “I’m not as bad as the other guy” is not inspirational.

      It’s a sad state of affair, having to vote Lula again to prevent Bolsonaro from take office.

      The left is doomed if they only have Lula as a viable option

      You are right except that he is popular I’d say, his charisma is undeniable. Still, lots of people hate voting for him and I wish the left invested into basically any other candidate
