Brazil might be a hard ask. Particularly if there has been trickle down imbecility at the three letter agencies, as I suspect there has.

The BC event really made me sad. :/

BC was a decision between a center-left candidate (who was doing some stupid election shenanigans) and a center-center candidate (who is by all reports the most boring politician they could find) in a province in Canada.

This is not any way comparable to a country of over 200M people potentially falling to fascism.

Do they need to be comparable for me to feel a certain way about their respective outcomes? Both matter to me.

This is why I really like the run-off system of the non-instant variety. It gives people a clear choice and a chance to think. People that might not have voted the first round see a stark choice and may think "yeah I better go vote or we'll have another Bolsanaro running things and I don't want that."

Congrats to Brazil!

To feel like it's relevant in a thread about an election in another country, yes, it should be comparable.

You should probably work on your empathy a little more if over 200 million people facing fascism gives you the same feelings as a province electing a boring centrist.

The Tories are still going to fuck up treaty negotiations, wreck sex education, push old growth logging, and sell off our health system. They'll probably also repeal the single-family home zoning ban.

Going to be a rough FO cycle.

Thank you, I am working on it right now.
