Also Haddad, Alckmin, Tebet... like, virtually all ministers in important positions are appointees. Which, to be fair, is ok. Virtually any president needs support from Congress. But don't pretend like most of Lula's future ministers aren't there because of politics.

This is not true at all. Most of Lula's ministers are political appointees. To be clear: I voted for Lula, and having ministers by chosen by politics is fairly common here, and important to make sure that Lula can govern with support from Congress. But let's not pretend like all ministers are there because of merit. Haddad, Alckmin, Renan Filho, Tebet and the ministers from União Brasil for example... they are there because of politics. Not because they are the best choices

I agree that his ministers are WAY better than Bolsonaro's ministers. However, they are not the best possible choices, and some of them are outright bad. Let's not pretend like Lula has only chosen the best. Haddad for example is a terrible name for the economics minister, and he was only chosen because Lula and the Worker's Party wants him as a successor. Most economists didn't like him being chosen at all (personally, I think Haddad should've been education minister)
