Reply to comment by imlazy420 in Brazil's electoral court rejects Bolsonaro election challenge by vitorgrs

Are you really not actually responding? You have given no details on how he is worse, just a bunch of rhetoric. I'll wait for an actual explanation but I won't hold my breath.

...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.

I want you to give details of how he is worse. Actual details and explanations. You're beating around the bush speaking very vaguely about his political conviction. You haven't actually detailed exactly why Lula is bad and how he will be worse. The lack of detail leads me to believe that you're just basing your views on anti socialism propaganda and you don't really have a full understanding of either man.

But go ahead keep deflecting with your faux disbelief at me questioning your crap.

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.
