Okay I winced through everything until the bit about the mainstream media is promoting a narrative of PSDB as the villains and Lula and Dilma as poor matyrs.
NOPE
I can't judge his intelligence from what little I watched, but that doesn't matter because he's not simply misinformed and disinformed, he's literally delusional.
That's about the only thing he's right about, and that's just because of his paranoid traces.
Big media spent months ragging on Lula and Dilma as well as cannily spreading the smearing on PT as a whole, while avoiding hitting PSDB and to a lesser degree PMDB, then all of a sudden this guy no one ever heard of shows up from nowhere and royally buttfucks both Temer and Aécio, incredibly, the media starts ragging on them with the same intensity they did on Lula and Dilma. It doesn't take a genius to see that the biggest porkies in the sty have forged a backroom deal.
PMDB is complete and utter scum by nature. They're there to, in case they don't outright reach power, create a majority with whichever other party is in power, and I have zero doubts they would do it with Nazis or Stalinists if need be. But right now, their electoral outlook is dim, because the fucking first 3 people in the presidential succession line are PMDB members and guilty as sin, and more importantly, Temer was the only big personality they had at the moment. They know they're so boned they won't even think of nominating their own presidential candidate, mark my words. But they'll be there to create a majority anyway, obviously.
Meanwhile, PSDB is in a much better situation, because the damage has been more "localized". The big 3 personalities, Aécio, Serra and Alckmin, were all accused, but the media had been doing a great job at keeping them away from the limelights. That is, until Aécio was thrown to the lions.
So then, with PT and PMDB in a rouch patch, cui bono says that Serra and Alckmin are the two biggest beneficiaries of this circus as the best contenders for presidency. From what I have seen of media, I have the feeling that Alckmin will be the annointed one because his name is often omitted when they start rattling off the accuseds' names, so Serra will be on the chopping block or maybe cut a deal. Regardless, my money is on President Alckmin.
Of course, there's also the factor of rightwing vultures too, but that's completely up to fate now.
It's a sad state of affairs when the best president you can hope for is a man known for being anodyne and with unremarkable skills, from the most neoliberal party that still dares call itself social-democrat.
I'm not on social networks either, but I know there's a few Brazilians in YPG.
I thought the same thing, I'm glad I'm not the only one. A specialized software would be a good tool to introduce direct democracy, I figured that this is exactly the way democracy will go (assuming it survives). If it were up to me, I'd abolish the legislative branch and extend its powers to every citizen. Radical, but progress implies risks.
I just looked into Atlas Foundation and I fucking knew they would be partners with Instituto Millenium! Those fuckers are so awed by anything American that they can't even be bothered to choose a name in Portuguese for their think-tank. said the gommie posting in English in a gringo site
