@donelias "Despite falling inequality and unemployment, Lula has struggled to win over voters grappling with high living costs, heavy household debt and the threat of crime and more pervasive gang activity."
Yeah, vote for the right, they'll always prioritise the poor and downtrodden. It's right there in the definition of "right wing politics".
@ghouston@mamot.fr @donelias@mastodon.cr This is not true, is fascist propaganda ""Despite falling inequality and unemployment, Lula has struggled to win over voters grappling with high living costs, heavy household debt and the threat of crime and more pervasive gang activity."
@ghouston@mamot.fr @donelias@mastodon.cr @ghouston@mamot.fr @donelias@mastodon.cr That is a lie; I live in Brazil. Working-class people vote for Bolsonarism because Neo-Pentecostal pastors have been campaigning ceaselessly since 2018, because the business sector wants a liberal who will sell off national assets, because Big Tech also wants a liberal subservient to their interests, and—finally—because Trump and Netanyahu want it. This is no secret; it has been reported, e.g. in the Washington Post, Guardian, the New York Times, and Le Monde diplomatique,.
This lie by Reuters is shameful.
