Caralho, esse é sem dúvidas um dos vídeos mais espetaculares da história do Brasil!
Milhões e milhões de pessoas na Avenida Paulista comemorando a reeleição do Lula.
A ESQUERDA BRASILEIRA É UM FENÔMENO!

De dónde sacó votos Lula para darla vuelta?
1) Subió la participación, del 79,3% al 80,9%. Hubo 1,3 millones de cotantes más, casi todos a Lula. Subió casi todo en el Sur y Sudeste.
2) Bajaron fuerte el voto en blanco y nulo (del 4,5% al 3%). Hubo unos 900 mil votos menos en blanco. Casi todo fue a Lula. La baja fue más pronunciada en el Nordeste.
3) Voto de terceras fuerzas. Hay que verlo más en detalle, pero a priori sería algo así como que gran parte del voto de Cury fue a Lula, mientras que el voto de Caiado y Renan Santos fue aprox 40% a Lula, 50% a Flavio y el resto a blanco-nulo.

Day 1706 of my 3 day war. Vucic lost in Serbia, Bolsonaro lost in Brazil and Donald couldn't rig a casino he owns, never mind the midterms.
I remain a master strategist.

Lula gigante. Le ganó no solo a Bolsonaro, sino a Meta y toda la campaña de Trump en su contra.

An advantage of democracy is that it is a self-correcting system. It does not prevent the election of bad leaders, but it makes it much easier for the population to remove them from office.

Today, the people of Serbia turned out in record numbers to shape their country’s future.
Congratulations to the Student List on its victory in the parliamentary elections.
We stand ready to support reforms on the rule of law, media freedom, the fight against corruption and strong democratic institutions, and to work together to advance Serbia’s future in the European Union.

BREAKING 🇧🇷 The Supreme Court of Brazil has recognized Bolsonaro’s widespread effort to suppress the popular vote by shutting down public transit – and extended the vote by 2 hours. But scores of stations have already closed – and cannot now reopen to the public.
Sounds all good to me. The more of your ilk lands in the slammer for interference with democracy rules the better. Also, you are an illegal immigrant - go before it is too late and ICE will shoot you.

New: Sources from three countries confirm that the Trump Administration has advocated Viktor Orbán for UN Secretary-General.
The US has encouraged Orbán to enter the race, even bringing him the initial idea of a joint U.S.-Russia-China candidacy.

Orbán gone. The Bolsonaros gone. Vucic gone. Netanyahu so desperate to avoid facing the criminal courts of his country if he loses the upcoming election that he's trying to incite a nuclear war.
Americans can do their part to stem the toxic tide of global fascism on November 3.
BREAKING: Putin just lost another ally in Europe, and people are celebrating in the streets. Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia’s authoritarian leader and close ally of Trump and Putin, has officially conceded defeat in a historic snap parliamentary election. The student-led opposition movement has won, ending more than a decade of Vucic’s grip on power. Voter turnout reached nearly 70%, the highest since the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992.
