Once again the "left" has failed working class people and made the elites richer so the working class has no choice but to try something different. Evil Biden did the same to poor Americans.

    There's fundamental flaws in the system of global capitalism that the liberals refuses acknowledge or do anything about. They get into power and do nothing with it. So we should just keep voting for them to keep wasting our lives? The system is built to force us to vote between two bad choices.

    None of that suggests supporting Bolsonaro or other fascists is any kind of solution. My comment was meant to imply that whatever problems may exist with Lula, Bolsonaro has them but worse.

    If one does not find solutions by voting then there are other political actions one can take.

    It has been said many times before "Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds". As long as we have global capitalism, true solutions cannot be found and we'll cycle between ineffective liberals who can't fix anything and fascists who want to destroy everything. Liberals are the good cop to the fascists bad cop. They are both against you but only one is obvious about it.

    I think that saying is a thought terminating cliche. The real world is more complicated. But even if you take at face value it does not in any way suggest that you should actively support the fascists.

    Are you sure you don't just prefer fascism?

    Yes. Brazil Inflaction is controlled. People have jobs and real increase in salaries. We tax profits in 10% for Ritches. We are removing 6 workdays per week. External investors are on record. We forbidden bets that are destroying many families. We are investigating corruption and putting high ranking people on jail (Bolsonaro, volcano)

    This is not falling. Succeed is what is causes the huge investment against. The fail was never control the miss information.
