Lula's Election Win and the Brazilian Left

You have no idea how happy

I am for Brazil right

now, and you should be

too because it should be a glimpse

at what your country could look like if the

people within it actually gave a

damn and actually believed in their voice.

Because in Brazil's case, Brazil's left-wing President Lula

has just won the re-election, defeating the far right

in Brazil. You

see, just yesterday, Brazil

voted to give the left-wing

candidate, Lula da Silva,

a historic fourth non-consecutive

presidential term.

You guys need to understand this

is huge for

Brazil, not just because Lula won with 4.4

million votes, but

because this

is a huge comeback for the

Brazilian left. Lula

is now the first candidate

since Brazil's

return

to democracy to win a

presidential runoff after losing

the first round.

Furthermore, upon research,

I found out that Lula is a

former trade union leader whose

Workers' Party campaigns on

reducing poverty and inequality,

protecting workers' rights, and expanding

social programs through strengthening

public services.

In a world where the far right are dominating

and ruining lives, it's

so refreshing to see that there are people who are willing to fight

to make sure that common sense and

goodness triumph throughout all the

darkness. Big up Brazil. Big up Brazil.
