Congratulations to Brazil!

Lula has a rather funny name, in English it would be something like Squid of the Woods. 🤣

Great news, not just for Brazil, but for the whole world.

But winning the election is just the first step. The more important part is that he uses his victory to deliver the results that he promised. If politicians did this better, we would never see a far right movement in the first place.

Let's hope we see it happen.

That awkward moment when a president wins a fourth term but it's a good thing

Edit: Did really nobody understand this or did the tankies show up?

EDIT 2: This was crossposted to ML. I accidentally walked into the psych ward. I hope somebody shuts down ML. I really really deeply do.

Why, if the people democratically vote for someone why should they be artificially limited?

To prevent bad actors from consolidating power and corrupting the systems that keep those elections free and fair. Are term limits perfect? No. Do they solve more problems than they create? Probably.
