Cause

• Lula’s term was a lukewarm nothing burguer

• which shot itself on the foot year one by limiting how much the govmt can invest

• Lula is campaigning as if it was 2022

• both sides are campaigning on “least bad”

• Out of 26 yrs in this millenium, Brasil had a Workers Party govnmt in 18. People want something different

• Lula / PT work really hard to de-politise politics, and to be the only viable option on the left (by punching left)

• Lula’s broad front is filled with ppl (senators, congressppl, etc) that are indistinguishable from Bolsonaro’s camp
