Everyone is repeating that, but in these same elections the right got 23 out of 27 governors, 50 out of 55 senators and about 330 out of 390 congressists… they only lost for president and by a small margin. To say fascists were defeated…
Cara, eu só quero ficar bêbado. Sei da situação, não precisa jogar na cara. kkkk
Yeah, that’s what I wanted to know, since the wikipedia breakdown on parlimentary structure isn’t clear.
But even then, are those out of seats available during the election, or seats total?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Brazilian_general_election#Federal_SenateThe results don’t seem too good, but I don’t understand how the coalitions will work due to mixture of colours and unfamiliarity of with the brazillian parties.
Senators have 8 years term and every 4 years it renew 2/3 or 1/3 of the seats (this election was 2/3, so 54* seats - I had said 55, it was wrong… also I’m not sure how I counted the “330 out of 390” deputies thing… anyway…)
So here names like socialist, social, progressist and liberal means jack shit, the liberal and the progressist parties are far right conservatives, and half of the parties with socialist/social in the name are neoliberal (literally).
I added subtitles
Here’s the Senate:
Here’s the Chamber of Deputies:
We have far left parties (PCO, PCB, PSTU, UP) but they very very rarely elect anyone, when it happens it’s for city council.
so basically, it’s still fucked. What’s Lula going to do about the parliament being stacked against him?
We’ve been through this before with Dilma (Lula’s successor) in 2014, to get “allies” they put a rightwing guy as vice president and gave all ministries to leaders of rightwing parties, so on paper her coalition had the majority of seats, however, her government was completely sabotaged (there was the commodity price shocks of 2014, which led us to economic crisis) and the congress simply voted her out in 2016 putting the rightwing vice president in power… so, what Lula did now? He got a rightwing guy as vice president too, and we got employment crisis coming because of AI, AI bubble market crisis, probably gonna have shitty grain production because of el niño, congress won’t accept anything the president proposes, he gonna do a shit government like Dilma, and just like then the whole left gonna take the blame for the rightwing active economic sabotage and be voted out… I’m not optimistic at all :P
Yes, this and the fact that Lula has close ties to countries like China with a totalitarian government. He frames himself as a guard of civil and human rights, but so he must also reconsider his stance to such regimes.
Are the Chinese in the room with you now?
What drives this single minded sinophobic obsession?
Woo some good news!
Take that fascist scum!
