Reply to comment by __The__Anomaly__ in Leftist challenger Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's lead over far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro has widened slightly three days from Brazil's polarizing presidential runoff election, according to a poll published Thursday. Lula has 53 percent voter support to 47 percent for Bolsonaro by DoremusJessup
Lula was already president for 8 years and did terribly. Brazil doesn't need either of these two. They're both garbage.
The poverty rate plummeted under his tenure and literacy increased. But sure go off with the "both sides the same" crap.
Choice between two evils. Welcome to democracy.
Better than the alternative “Evil - No choice.”
Logically, yes. Psychologically, no.
It's a bit like a trolley problem: you have 5 people on 1st track, 1 on 2nd track, and trolley is running towards the 1st. You can pull the lever and save 4 people - but your mind will get fixated on you killing that poor 1.
Speaking of which, I highly recommend VSauce's "Mind field" series. I think s2e1 was dedicated to it, I think.
This comparison is completely nonsense and I have no idea what you’re trying to say.
That sometimes having no choice is better from some perspectives. Sorry if I did not deliver that thought, I should've specified.
Edit: Also, sorry for even bringing it up, but that episode left a lasting impression on me, and I can't stop recalling it whenever anyone says having some choice is better than having none.

He is the most beloved president in brazils history. History rates of lifting people out of poverty. Smashing child hunger, etc…. Idk how you could possibly look at lulas 8 years and not see a good President.
Global recession fucked him over, as did the IMF
