    Today, we are voting for the new president of Brazil. We still have around 3 more hours to go until the time is up for voting.

    Most of the LGBT+ community hopes that Lula, our old president, comes back and defeats Bolson@ro, the fascist currently in power. The initial data from the pools shows that Lula may win today, without the need for a second round of voting.

    Please root for us! The current person in power was responsible for the delay of vaccines (and, thus, also responsible for thousands of deaths that could have been avoided) and the rise of violence. He mocked COVID-19 victims and openly attacks women, black and LGBT+ people and defends the return of the military dictatorship. He won't go down quietly, but he needs to be stopped today.

    I wish you all the best and hope lots of people vote for Lula. Large voter turnout here can often be good for progressive candidates, is that the same in Brazil? I hope Lula will be able to do something to stop rainforest destruction too.

    Thanks! Yeah, I hope we can elect many progressive candidates this time!

    There are some good politicians for other lesser offices that are focused on defending the forests, so I'm hopeful!
