The Root Conservative Banido stated that he had elaborated five scenarios that favored Lula's victory. According to him, all presumed a decrease in abstention in the Northeast greater than 1% above the record already registered, an increase in abstention in the other four regions, and a migration of votes from the third way to Lula in a proportion of 60% to 40%. Lula would have won in only one of the five scenarios, a result that the author classified as "brutal." #Lula #Eleições2024 #Democracia (translated)

Gian Oddi wrote that a candidate could lose votes for not answering questions in a debate and for engaging in aggressive bullying against a person over 80 years old. According to Oddi, other points should weigh more in voters' decisions: the candidate would have exalted torturers and honored militiamen from an extermination group, in addition to employing relatives of one of them. Oddi also cited a scandal involving "rachadinhas," accusations of embezzlement, money laundering, and organized crime, suspicious financial activities, real estate transactions he called bizarre, and investigations involving a chocolate store. He added that the candidate would have asked for millions of reais from the "brother" who robbed retirees from the INSS, defended a police officer accused of murdering a child, supported a management that Oddi classified as genocidal during the pandemic, and relativized a coup d'état that would end democracy and would foresee, among other actions, the assassination of three people. #Eleições2024 #DebatePolítico #Cidadania (translated)

Gian Oddi stated that he considered it sad for a candidate to potentially lose votes for not answering questions during a debate and for adopting an aggressive intimidation stance against a person over 80 years old. According to Oddi, other aspects should weigh more in evaluating the candidate: he claimed the politician praised torturers, honored militiamen from a death squad, and employed relatives of one of them; he got involved in a scandal regarding kickbacks and was accused of embezzlement, money laundering, and organized crime. Oddi also mentioned financial movements he deemed suspicious, real estate transactions he classified as bizarre, and investigations involving a chocolate shop. He further stated that the candidate asked for millions of reais from his "brother," who, according to the author, stole from retired INSS members, defended a police officer accused of killing a child, supported a management that Oddi described as genocidal during the pandemic, and downplayed an attempted coup that, according to him, would end democracy and foresee the assassination of three people. In conclusion, he said that intimidation in the debate should not be necessary to drive voters away from the candidate. #Eleições2024 #PolíticaBrasil #Democracia (translated)

Lucas Mourão wrote that everyone had the right to a defense, regardless of the severity of the crime, and that lawyers could represent anyone. Nevertheless, he questioned the consistency of those who defended that criminals should die while acting in defense of a person accused of murdering a 5-year-old girl. Mourão asked why Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, whom he described as radically punitive and an advocate of the death penalty, the removal of bullet casing records, and life imprisonment, would take on the defense of the accused for free, as it was reported. He stated that the senator had that right, but it was also legitimate to question his motives. Mourão added that Flávio Bolsonaro's ties to criminals, including known murderers, went beyond that incident. #DireitosHumanos #Justiça #Democracia (translated)
