@WolfBear Do you ever consider that people might not want immigrants?
But Brazil has been a historical country of immigration, no? Well, relatively speaking, at least. It was 7.3% immigrant in the early 20th century, apparently.

Good evening @gral. Any new crazy developments in the 2022 Brazilian Presidential election ?Hard to say; I think people will care once the economy starts shrinking noticeably(by the 2040s is my guess), and they probably will see immigrants as competition.
Lula's campaign team(and their allies, mainly in the big media organizations - especially Globo) has been trying to overstate support for Lula(and downplay support for Bolsonaro) since the first semester of this year, in order to try to get the so called 'useful vote'('only Lula is capable of facing Bolsonaro' or 'Bolsonaro loses to every other candidate in the second round, why not vote for someone else with better chances to winning over Lula?') - this plays a big part on the Datafolha/IPEC poll results. The crowds of Bolsonaro supporters on the Bicentennial of the Independence crushed that narrative, though.
Now Lula's campaign is worried about losing votes to Ciro Gomes, which is presenting himself as a better candidate to face Bolsonaro. Lula's pitiful showing on the TV debates and interviews also did him no favours - Lula only did OK on the Globo interview, where the interviewers unashamedly kissed his ass the entire interview - everywhere else, he crumpled like wet tissue whenever people didn't accept his bullshit.
Globo will have a debate in which Lula said he will go to. Bolsonaro probably will, since his policy in this campaign is to go for maximum exposure(seems to be working).Good evening @gral. Any new crazy developments in the 2022 Brazilian Presidential election ?
Have there been debates scheduled between Bolsonaro & Lula yet ?
Gonna be a very interesting televised debate.Globo will have a debate in which Lula said he will go to. Bolsonaro probably will, since his policy in this campaign is to go for maximum exposure(seems to be working).
As for crazy developments, yesterday's debate on SBT gave us a new meme candidate, but that doesn't really change anything.
Keep me updated. When's the election in Brazil ?Globo will have a debate in which Lula said he will go to. Bolsonaro probably will, since his policy in this campaign is to go for maximum exposure(seems to be working).

1st round is on Sunday. The Globo debate(last one before the election) is tomorrow(and Bolsonaro has already confirmed he'll go).Keep me updated. When's the election in Brazil ?
All eyes are on Brazil to see if Bolsonaro wins reelection1st round is on Sunday. The Globo debate(last one before the election) is tomorrow(and Bolsonaro has already confirmed he'll go).
Your predictions for tomorrow's election?There is also sabotage and desperate anti-Bolsonaro action in the Election people themselves. They have blocked him from using Independence Day parade footagee in his campaign and now want to block UN footage as well. Of course that only applies to ads and people can still tell other to look it up but shows the desperation.
Elections will happen on October 2nd. Then there will likely be another election a month later as the tiebreaker for governors and president if a 50.1% vote isn't achieved on the first run.
At the moment I am more interested in trying to choose my vote for governors and deputies, cause the presidential vote is pretty much locked.
Translation: The other candidates will be endorsing Bolsonaro assuming this goes to the runoffMy bet is this goes on to the second round, with Bolsonaro ahead of Lula. A first round win for Bolsonaro is possible, but unlikely; a first round win for Lula is impossible, IMO.
What time do the polls close in Brazil?Don't be so sure, a LOT of them are really slimy bastards.
Also absolutely hilarious to see the "trustworthy pollsters" talking about a Lula 1st turn as if it was anything other than a pie in the sky dream. Some are unironically claiming it is possible.
Ciro will endorse no one; the women will endorse Lula; the hardcore communists will either endorse Lula or tell their voters to vote for no one; Novo's candidate probably will endorse Bolsonaro.Translation: The other candidates will be endorsing Bolsonaro assuming this goes to the runoff
Trump and Netanyahu both endorsed Bolsonaro.Ciro will endorse no one; the women will endorse Lula; the hardcore communists will either endorse Lula or tell their voters to vote for no one; Novo's candidate probably will endorse Bolsonaro.
Anybody got a link of the election returns?Not surprising. Bolsonara and Trump had a good relationship, and Bolsonaro is pretty friendly with Israel in general.
