Edited the comment. I dont mind a lot of socialist ideas actually. I really like our consumer protection laws and especially our labour laws compared to what I hear from other countries. And boy does healthcare help, it is far from amazing but I has saved too many lives to count including mine and many of my family members.

I'm a firm believer the state and politicians should be managers serving the people. They're not leaders, they're representatives. Their job is to make sure the country develops well and the people are healthy.

However, I also don't like a lot of the more extreme ideas of socialism. As much as I hate how our own resources are harvested and then sold back to us, simply taking the companies and resources back can easily be abused and used to take away personal possessions and freedoms they have no business touching. It is a tough situation to balance.

...Wait you want me to explain why having a convicted criminal as a president is a bad idea? One who stole God knows how much and is surrounded by people like him?

Welp since you do, he should by all means be in jail for another decade, hes free on a technicality. He was convicted for money laundering and accepting bribes, not to mention he was arrested back in the 80s for a violent riot. Whether he was a violent maniac or a freedom fighter at the time is up to debate, both sides have reasons to lie.

How can you trust someone like that to run a country? Not to mention how many of his party are under suspicion of corruption and connections to drug trafficking. The whole thing stinks.

Between a violent fool who lashes out at his people and a criminal who uses them for his gain I prefer neither.

Are you really asking how one of the most corrupt politicians in history is a shitty person? One who will gladly fuck over the people for personal gain? He sounds nicer because he isnt stupid, he isnt going to ruin his reputation further like bolsonaro loves to do at any given opportunity. Hell keep on being a piece of shit like most politicians are, and if someone complains he'll offer the people crumbs, temporary solutions to keep em quiet like he always does. bolsonaro is a raving lunatic, lula is a conniving rat.

Good people where? lula is just as horrible as bolsonaro if not worse.
