    Want he cleared? While operation carwash was real, it became a political weapon doing US style overcharging shakedowns?

      Nah. They just decided the evidence couldn’t be used but the evidence was real, like having a video of a murder but the judge said the camera was illegal. He also admitted on video of making use of the house that got a free renovation.

      At best his entire party is corrupt but he won’t condemn them, at worst he is extremely corrupt

          Brazil has multiple parties. I myself voted for another left candidate. The problem is that everyone has been brainwashed into only considering 2 candidates

            That sucks, I think presidential systems tend favor 2 parties/coalitions, is there any chance continuous elections between 2 bad choices could lead to that kind of reform, I think most presidential weakenings were in former USSR countries as they understandibly didn’t want to have presidents getting too strong.

              Believe or not bolsonaro (father) is from a party that wasnt one of the main 2 so there is a chance of breaking the duopoly, unfortunately as you can see, that doesnt always improve the situation (its just a different duopoly now)

                Many such cases, you can vote in a new party in a 2 party system (the Two round system is better for this than FPTP), but it’s next to impossible to break the 2 party dynamic that is sort of inevitable when you have a strong president, almost everyone is going to have to pick a side.
