Original Summary

🇧🇷 Flavio Bolsonaro (the son of Bolsonaro) is at the lead with 63% odds of winning the Brazilian presidential elections today Lula (the current president) is at just 37% Lula is left-wing and promises free money to the poor people and that's how he keeps winning Flavio Bolsonaro is right-wing, and the son of the previous president Bolsonaro who was jailed after allegedly organizing an attack by his supporters on government buildings in Brasilia on January 8, 2023, a literal copycat of the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack exactly 2 years and 2 days later but in Brazil! In the US, Trump got cleared of that, but in Brazil, Bolsonaro got jailed for 27 years because of that Brazil reminds me of South Korea where every new president tries to jail the previous president, it's a different type of politics Many Brazilians don't like either Lula or Bolsonaro by the way, realizing the system is so corrupt it doesn't really matter who you put in power, so they essentially protest vote for one to avoid the other, not liking either One interesting thing about Brazil more recently is how the Supreme Court judges are allegedly used by the ruling president to influence politics, censoring speech against the current government (again quite similar to what Biden was doing) Brazil's politics to me feel very heavily influenced by the US but with a 2 year delay because when US has elections in 2024, Brazil has them 2 years later in 2026. Their political swings have always followed the US ever since they started getting elections with just 2 exceptions in 2000 and 2004 (Bush in US vs Lula in BR) Knowing how accurate @Polymarket bets usually are (it predicted Trump winning in 2024 when the media said he'd lose) this will be very interesting. Funnily enough Lula has banned Polymarket and other prediction platforms in April this year, probably out of fear it'd influence the elections If Bolsonaro wins, many people predict the Supreme Court judges will try annull the election and declare it faulty, which will be another period of drama in Brazil!
