alphabethunter comments on Lula wins fourth term as Brazil president after historic upset over far-right Flávio Bolsonaro

Honestly, his next government just needs to do two things: investigate and prosecute everyone involved in manipulating the elections; curb the influence and heavily regulate social medias here in Brazil. If they can do these two things, we're golden, we don't even need a direct successor.

Of course you do. One because Lula might have won but everything else was basically swept by the right wing so none of that investigation or prosecutions are going to make a whole lot of headway. But more importantly a power vacuum is a terrible idea. Because that's basically guaranteeing a right-wing resurgence.
