Let us even say that the Bolsonaros are corrupt banana republic politicians…

But is Lula really a vicory for democracy? That is a massive stretch. His son is currently living abroad in the richest neighborhood in Spain dodging corruption charges - something that Lula himself has done to prison for - and within 7 minutes of the election ending they were seizing Flavio Bolsonaro’s passport.

Lol, like, does Bolsonaro being bad make Lula the default good guy? Is that how your world works?

But more importantly… WHere is the lie from this source?

AOC endorsed Lula.

Because the story indicted itself, I dismissed it entirely. The article tried to portray Bolsonaro as a victim. If they’re willing to lie about that, they cannot be trusted.

So… I have no position at all on Lula at this point. I also don’t have any information about Lula from which to form an opinion on the endorsement even if I accept that it happened.

  I am glad that at least you have a more accurate view of Lula than AOC does.
