A antecipação está me matando. Não sei o que eu faço se a Dilma vencer. Sinto que se isso acontecer, virá um governo muito perigoso pelos próximos quatro anos.

I think the same. And did the same. Voted AÉCIO so the power could change hands for a bit.

Yes, I feel the same. 16 years is way too long.

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.

The thing is that Lula tenure left a sweet taste in the mouth of the poor people, and they are majority.

Not only that, but her government's been far more destructive than Lula's. At least, his first mandate was kind of okay, but it all went downhill with Guido Mantega.

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.

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

Why did you vote the way you did, Wagner?

Congrats on exercising your democratic right to choice. :)

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.
