Marcel van Hattem compared the repercussions of Lula's debate on Band to the confrontation between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the United States. He stated that Lula's voters and part of the press were surprised by a performance different from the image of the president presented in campaigns and studios. Van Hattem described Lula as physically and mentally weakened, slow, weak, confused, irritated, and tired, and asserted that he would not be able to lead a government or a nation. The author also mentioned that, in the United States, the perception of Biden led to Kamala Harris's candidacy, but Trump won. According to van Hattem, in Brazil, there would no longer be time to replace Lula, and the result would be a change of command in the Presidency. He stated that Brazilians had already predominantly chosen a candidate with a future in the first round and predicted that this decision would be confirmed in the second round. In the end, he advocated voting for Flávio, number 22, on the 25th. #Lula #Eleições2024 #Brasil (translated)

Rodrigo Constantino stated that the PT campaign had vetoed the use of an aerial counting method with artificial intelligence at Lula's event the previous week, when the party mentioned "one million". He contrasted this alleged lack of transparency with the actions of the right and said that Flávio used a platform to defend the idea of "turning the sad page of the PT", one week before the second round, on 10/25. Constantino assessed that the number of 72 thousand was false and attributed the difference between the events to the mobilization he described as organic, without artists paid by the state or a ban on drones. He also stated that anti-PT sentiment led ordinary people to the streets, rather than professional activists, and said that the country needed to rid itself of lulism and what he called toga activism. #Política #Eleições2023 #Brasil (translated)

Leandro Ruschel questioned why Globo and other media outlets were classifying as "fake news" audios that, according to him, mentioned millions passed "under the table" to people linked to the PT regime. He also stated that a report cited a promise of a bribe of R$ 1 billion to the party if Vorcaro managed to access the Pension Funds.

According to him, the lawyer acknowledged that the voice was Vorcaro's but said that only the businessman could confirm the story. Ruschel added that a magazine presented, the day before, an expert examination that confirmed the authenticity of the audio and questioned why the press was trying to bury the accusation. #FakeNews #Globo #Política (translated)

Roberto Reis pointed out five changes that, in his opinion, were necessary in Flávio's campaign. He said that Ronaldo Caiado, Cleitinho, Augusto Cury, Romeu Zema, ACM Neto, and other leaders were being underutilized and needed to be given tasks and agendas. Reis advocated for mobilizing supporters to respond to rumors about Bolsa Família, BPC, and pensions. According to him, employment, debts, and cost of living were real concerns that were changing votes among the less privileged classes. He also called for concrete proposals: IPVA with Cleitinho, security with Caiado, and income and prosperity with Zema and Pablo Marçal. Regarding the debates, he recommended preparation, quick responses, and different strategies for each of the two meetings. For the street campaign, he suggested increasing presence and mobilizing supporters, stating that the left had already mobilized. He also proposed organizing the monitoring of the ballots and holding a "bloquinho 22" in all cities the following week. Reis summarized his proposal as turning support into work and effort. #CampanhaFlávio #Eleições2024 #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Renato Souza shared an excerpt from the Piauí magazine, which claimed that a minister of the Federal Supreme Court had received sexual benefits funded by a banker whose case for a major banking fraud was pending in the court itself. The magazine stated that the court had not taken action and alleged that the minister, who was presiding over the presidential elections, had been making decisions in favor of Flávio Bolsonaro, whose father appointed him to the Supreme Court. As an example, the publication cited the dismissal, on its own initiative, of the WhatsApp channel "Lula's Army." According to the magazine, the decision was made without a majority in the chamber and without the support of the case's rapporteur, Ricardo Villas Bôas Cueva. #SupremoTribunalFederal #Ética #Brasil (translated)

According to him, the group wanted to keep the militants motivated, and the polls were the only way to do so. #PT #Pesquisas #Eleições (translated)
