To alternate power really. I do not expect this Aécio Neves to be perfect or anything, I just think Dilma is getting some bad habits after 12 years of reign.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

For foreigners, it's important to note that both Dilma and Aécio are left-wing politicians. Dilma is far more extreme than Aécio, though. He's a social democrat whereas she's a full socialist.


2 hours to go...

She is not that extreme, at least I think. She is more like a demagogue kind of politician: pleasing the people with small benefits like food stamps (Bolsa Família) and pleasing bankers with weird economic edicts.

However the thing that makes me dislike her much is the exagerated shameless corruption.

Her past speaks a lot. Of course she's not extreme because she hasn't tried yet to end capitalism here altogether, but we're definitely diving into that possibility quite quickly. Bolsa Família is far from being a socialist idea, it has roots in the libertarian philosophy. Milton Friedman basically idealized the voucher system. I quite like its idea, but it's terriply implemented.

Honestly, corruption doesn't even bother me. I guess I'd prefer a corrupt politician who's at least moving the country forward than an honest one who isn't doing anything. Corruption will only end - or, much more plausible, decrease - when the Estate decides not to get its ass involved in every aspect of our lives, such as our Economy.

I agree. I have nothing against Food Stamps (Bolsa Família). I hope that whoever wins keep giving them to those who need it.

That is true. We will see how longlasting was this taste in a couple of hours.

I think we all know the answer.

I hope I'm wrong though.

I really hope you are wrong in this one =/

This is a text I wrote about this:

"Nesse período de eleição o que mais vejo são publicações em redes sociais, brigas em rodas de amigos, 

compartilhamentos de informações muitas vezes nem checadas, cada um levantando uma bandeira, e as vezes nem sabe o porquê. 

Também tem aqueles que não levantam bandeira alguma, mas clamam por mudança. Mas o pior disso tudo é o altíssimo grau de hipocrisia, e a falta de percepção da realidade, do verdadeiro problema.

Exemplos disso estão em todos os lugares. O professor que reclama que não tem reconhecimento de seu trabalho, mas ao chegar em casa baixa uma música para relaxar, assim não reconhecendo o trabalho de centenas de pessoas por trás daquela música.
Os jovens e pais de famílias que reclama da falta de segurança, mas criam grupos no wattsapp para saber onde está acontecendo blitz policial, para assim poder beberem tranquilos.
O Universitário que reclama da qualidade da educação, mas ao receber uma bolsa de estudos no exterior, utiliza os recursos e tempo da mesma para lazer.
Além de várias outras situações cotidianas que apoiamos no ilegal 
para proveito próprio,

cada um tem consciência do que faz de errado.

O politico do futuro é aquele seu colega de classe ou até mesmo você, que
está acostumado com diversos tipos de corrupção, de utilizar de fins
imorais para próprio benefício, a diferença é que ele é vigiado por 
200 milhões.

Antes de criticar ou apoiar de forma cega, lembre-se que o problema maior do Brasil é você, e os outros 199.999.999 milhões de brasileiros."

Was not my intention really. It was just my opinion. Well, we all know you have a better chance of finishing this day happy than I have.

Anyways, sorry about that.

Congrats on exercising your democratic right to choice. :)

Voting is mandatory here.


So is it a right if you are forced to do it?

You can justify the reason why you did not vote. Also you can vote BLANK or vote to a candidate that do not exist.

Also, if you do not vote you can pay a small fee, less than one dollar.

Also we vote in a cool electronic device called URNA ELETRÔNICA, how about that?

Yes, even though the penalty for not voting is like $0,50. The bad part is that you can't apply for federal jobs or an university, if you don't do so.
