    So, if I'm understanding this correctly, the Brazilians had a choice between a Trump-like figure (populist movement, capitalistic, fear-mongerer) and a Clinton-like figure (long history of corruption, public sector investor, Communist running mate). You'd have thought the Worker's party would have learned a thing or two from the US election and not nominated a big-time-baggage-carrying communist leaning liberal
    True. A terrible choice. Only the Trump-like figure I think is likely even worse than Trump, if that's possible.

      Sure, that's your right. But you don't get to make their decisions. But criticize them all you want.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        No one is disputing he was legitimately elected.

          And no one is arguing that people are disputing that.

            Brazilians are dumb. They could have had a socialist that would have turned the country into a liberal utopia!... like Venezuela.

              You keep bringing it up as if it should diminish concerns. I’m not sure what your point is.

                Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                  The poverty of socialism is better than the success and excesses of capitalism, bud.
