      Actually Satanists and Cannibal were the same candidate. Jair Bolsonaro was caught on camera in a masonary house (which conservative brasilians deemed as satanists) and talking about eating an indegenous man (which is plain cannibalism), he also gave an interview saying that he felt a spark between him and a 13 years old colombian girl (which makes him a paedophile).

This refutes that the judge had political intentions at the time of the trial.

    Latin America is, as a whole, in a crazy pendulum politically. Every country seemingly hates its current government, then elects the opposition, and they hate them too. And Congresses almost everywhere have no mayority. It's depressing. Here in Chile people looooved Boric in his campaign and whilst he was preparing for the presidency, but now he's unpopular. I think things will go alike in Brazil with Lula. We're up to deadlock in every country (only Uruguay seems to be well) and that is terrifying for democracy

The political spectrum has moved so much to the right that social-democracy is assimilated to socialism. Same with Bernie Sanders.

      his first term was pretty liberal, but it’s up to debate how much of it was pragmatism. he’s not a socialist in practice but his party still has a pretty interventionist and nationalizing agenda which goes quite a bit beyond what europeans would call “social democracy”. we just don’t know to what degree the establishment and political allies will be able to dictate his policy choices - probably enough that Brazil doesn’t change a lot.

    I think it's important to point out that Lula is not a socialist, he was quite hard-left during the 90s but as time went on he moved more and more towards the center, because (as he said it himself) he was tired of losing. Nowadays he's a center-leftist who has good relations with Cuba and Venezuela. Nothing really beyond that.

When he won, videos of jail inmates started celebrating non-stop and videos of slum thugs shooting up the sky celebrating his victory. Pretty much shows what he is going to do: let them run free and do as they want. No justice, for they are just “victims of society”. Look up how Cuba, Venezuela and Argentina are like now.

      It's really not that shocking. Lula has made actively pro-Putin and anti-NATO statements, plus he has a good amount of scandals for corruption behind his back already. I mean, his prior issues are precisely the reason why Bolsonaro rose to power.
      Don't get me wrong, Bolsonaro is a corrupt, machiavelian person, certainly not someone I'd vote. But point is, Brazil was put into a loose loose situation the second these 2 were the only options. So it's not really that surprising they had issues picking what brand of poison they wanted to swallow. If I had lived there and saw this election coming, my vote would be with my feet, by which I mean doing whatever is in my power to emigrate somewhere with a less terrible political landscape.
      As for the left/right issue, it's actually very simple to explain. Just follow the money. In US/UK You have a right wing that pushes towards low density regulations and against help for urban poor, and a left wing that pushes for aid towards the urban poor, and against low density regulations that help the rural poor. Meanwhile in other areas you have left wings that push for aid to the farmers which help the rural poor and against aid towards small businesses which help the urban poor, and a right wing that pushes against "protectionist measures" designed to help the rural poor and in favor of lowering trade controls which helps the urban poor.
      At the end of the day, 90% of the time people don't actually vote for ideological reasons, they vote for who helps them the most. It really is that simple, look for the money flows, governments that enrich certain areas are likely to get their vote, governments that impoverish them will very rarely come to power. Look for example at UK. The "red wall" turned blue when Bojo promised them measures that would enrich them. And now everyone is quickly turning red or at least yellow since Brexit has heavily harmed the economy. It was never about ideology. All that sovereign speak crap was just an excuse. They voted for what they thought was best for them. They were simply wrong.
      This is indeed best seen on heavily stratified/federalized/decentralized systems, like for example Spain. As in those you can see how regionalist parties supposedly of the same "political side" push for completely different measures and ally with the "political enemy" precisely because of this. And certain regions just vote for completely different sides of the spectrum at each level. For example, during the latest elections Cadiz Capital voted for Kichi (Far Left) at the municipal level, PP (moderate right) at the autonomic level and PSOE (moderate left) at the national level. Why? Well, simple. National PSOE is federalist, so it gives more power to the autonomies, while PP is unitarian (they want more power to the central gov/madrid). But Andalusian PSOE is autonomic centralist (they want to focus the money on the autonomic capital, Seville) while PP is cantonalist (they would rather decentralize), as for Kichi, he first came to power as a joke/protest vote and yet he managed to drastically reduce our debt, so he earned the moderate vote. It's that simple!

    The fact that your assessment of this situation is so skewed and ignorant of the facts makes me re-evaluate what else you may be misinformed or ignorant about. I appreciated TLDR as a news source because I found it concise and seemingly accurate in its coverage. But if you can cover this story without talking about the excesses of the Brazilian Supreme Court and its justices (particularly Alexandre de Moraes) and how they manipulated Brazil's justice system to overturn Lula's convictions on a technicality, to intimidate, coerce and often arrest conservative media figures, to censor speech which offended Lula (while letting the media and Lula's campaign call Bolsonaro everything from racist to genocidal to pedophile), and to overlook inequalities in the way campaign spots we played on the radio (supposedly guaranteed equal time by electoral laws), you're missing the forest for the trees.
    The truth is the most powerful man in Brazil is not Bolsonaro or Lula: it is Alexandre de Moraes. And the truth is the Worker's Party's previous terms in power corrupted every single part of the state of Brazil, every ministry, every branch of government. EVERYTHING worked on the basis of bribes and extortion. It took courage and hard work to remove this octopus (literally and figuratively) from our government before, and now it's back, like a thief returning to the crime scene.

    The video is full of incomplete information, which lead to erroneous conclusions about what happens in Brazil and brings some dubious veracity information. The most important fact is that Lula was accused and convicted of several crimes, such as receiving bribes and concealing assets.
    The first scandal, still in the first Lula Government, was the "Mensalão", where Lula's party - the Workers' Party(PT) - passed money on to congressmen to approve their agendas and nominations to the other powers. Several party members, ministers of state and his political allies were arrested, but Lula was not accused of anything at the time.
    In Lula's second term, Brazil benefited from a boom of commodities and, due to the credit storm to contain the subprime crisis, he greatly increased credit for all, but most of it was banks and rich people, their current political allies and greater enthusiasts.
    Despite having had 80% popularity, and made his successor, Dilma, in few years the country went into economic and moral crisis when corruption, mismanagement of public companies and unfinished works reached its peak. The popular housing program, which generated a bubble on houses market, became constructions of stadiums for FIFA World Cup and Olympics, some of these projects were either abandoned, or had no use after the Games.
    "Mensalão" became "Petrolão", and the largest Public Oil Company had almost US$ 200 billion in losses. Only one of the company's chief operating officer returned about $20 million to the public coffers. Some of that money financed pharaonic projects for foreign warlords. Brazil's GDP, with Lula's successor, fell half a trillion dollars in a year, while the planet grew in 2014. We get record unemployment, debt and bankruptcies. The president was impeached for budgetary irregularities, but a nominee by Lula in the supreme court decided to keep her political rights, in a reinterpretation of the Impeachment Law.
    After the departure of his successor, who was protecting Lula from investigations, he was charged and tried in three instances, but those appointed to the Supreme Court by Lula began to act. First, they made it illegal for a person to be arrested without trial in a Supreme Court (in Brazil there would be 4 trials), when the court itself, a few years earlier, had already decided that arrests after 2 trails were legal. Then, five years after the operation that arrested Lula, another minister appointed to the Supreme Court by Lula's group, and who had campaigned for his party, said that Lula had been judged in the wrong place, in the first trail, and ordered to judge again all the cases he had suffered. However, as in Brazil, for people over 70 years of age, the processes have a shorter prescription period, many of the most advanced cases have automatically prescribed. Thus, Lula was once again eligible, as pure as a baby.

    Lula is the furthest thing from a socialist. Oh, he identifies as a leftist for politics but his actual policies are anything but socialist. DUring his previous presidency, he liberalized the Brazilian economy, cut taxes for businesses and banks, made several trade deals that made Brazilian exports cheap and very lucrative, and he attracted foreign investment to Brazil. Lula is not stupid like most South American politicians. He may identify as a leftist to sway the largely political and culturally left-leaning Brazilian urban populous, but he is not willing to destroy his country's economy with *actual socialist policies.*

    The thing people don’t talk about Lula enough is how unpredictable his governments are. When he was first elected Lula was the leader of the left, of the social liberal agenda but had a lot of right leaning economic policies, continuing the monetary policy from FHC government, increasing even higher the interest rate and reducing drastically the public debt. He started his 3rd government in a huge war against the president of Brazil’s Central Bank accusing him of keeping the interest rate way above the necessary and Lula gave lots of interviews saying that his not prioritizing policies to control the public debt because the government needs to pay for all the current policies plus policies with the purpose of fighting poverty and starvation, which I think is REALLY FAIR even though there are ways of doing it without disrespecting Brazil’s debt control policies. On the other hand, Lula appointed Fernando Haddad as the Minister of Economy, and Haddad is consider by Brazilian media as “the most toucan of the worker’s party” (making reference to PT traditional opponent in the pools PSDB a center right party) due to Haddad’s efforts to reduce the public debt, having a good relationship with Roberto Campos Neto (Central Bank president), his good relationship with moderate right wingers and his recent support from Faria Lima (Brazil equivalent of Wall Street).
