Leandro Ruschel published guidelines for the last week of Flávio's campaign. He recommended that supporters prioritize voters who already intended to vote for the candidate, confirming whether they would go to the polls on the 25th and how they would get to the voting location. Ruschel also suggested talking to family, friends, and colleagues who were not supporters of the Workers' Party, first listening to the concerns of undecided voters and addressing any worries they had about the other side. In his assessment, trying to convince supporters of the Workers' Party would be a waste of time: he stated that they would remain loyal to the party despite the corruption scandals he attributed to it and the convictions and imprisonment of Lula in two different cases. If it were not possible to change a voter's mind, Ruschel said that distancing them from Lula would already be helpful, as a nullified vote would not be counted for the candidate. #Eleições2023 #Flávio #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

The people have a very good memory. And they will remember who voted against tenant protection, against the reduction of evictions, and against limiting speculative home purchases; and in favor of rent-seeking and the disempowerment of the most vulnerable. We will see the result at the polls. (translated)

Rafael Narbona said he didn’t know if Podemos was responsible for the failure of a unified left candidacy, but he argued that the party had acted poorly by allowing, directly or indirectly, its supporters to insult and harass those who criticized their leaders on social media. He stated that, although he had criticized the PSOE many times without suffering similar attacks, he had received them from the far-right, from Podemos supporters, and from independents. He also described nationalism as reactionary and pointed to the emergence of Alianza Catalana, whose proposals he considered similar to those of Vox. Narbona recounted that it had been falsely claimed that Podemos helped him when they tried to evict him, clarifying that he lived in a house he owned. He also maintained that Podemos had not created the left or feminism and that it had weakened the left with demagoguery, inconsistencies, and a strategy that, in his view, prioritized identity disputes over social demands. He added that he considered it legitimate to live in a chalet and send his children to a private school, but he criticized those options and then resorted to them. Finally, he said that the noise from Podemos supporters on social media mattered less than electoral results and that their belligerence contributed to strengthening the far-right. He stated that he would continue to express his opinions and explained that he had limited responses to avoid insults and falsehoods. #Podemos #Izquierda #Ultraderecha (translated)

Hilton pointed out that the voting could influence the end of the 6x1 scale, the continuity of Pix, Brazilian control over rare earths, and the rights of women and girls to their own image, their own bodies, and the vote. She claimed to be gathering the 171 signatures necessary for the request for the companies to be investigated, regardless of the ballot results. The deputy also defended Brazil's sovereignty and criticized what she described as abuses by foreign companies that monopolize the internet.

GugaNoblat stated that Bolsonaro supporters still claimed that the previous election had been rigged because the Justice removed from social networks accounts of influencers who, according to him, lied about the voting machines. He then raised the hypothesis that Lula could buy an artificial intelligence system capable of manipulating an election and said that, in that case, the Bolsonaro supporters would oppose the election of the PT member and would be right. #Bolsonaro #Eleições #Justiça (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)

Felipe Neto stated that, after engaging on social media during the 2022 campaign alongside a few people, he saw the left expand its digital presence in the following four years. According to him, this advancement was important, although the environment was unequal: the algorithm would favor radicalization and hate speech, while companies like Meta would have acted to limit progressive posts and benefit conservative discourse. Neto said that, in the view of executives, these decisions would be part of business freedom, but he classified them as interference in national sovereignty. He also argued that platforms with significant communication power should be held accountable for the consequences of their decisions. Despite considering the election outcome disastrous, he said that the last four years showed reasons for hope. In Neto's assessment, the rise of the far-right in Brazil could boost resistance and strengthen the left's grassroots efforts both on the streets and online. He stated that the digital strength of the left, which was previously hard to imagine, was already a reality and urged people not to remain silent, but to question, research, and confront the scenario. #EsquerdaDigital #Resistência #LiberdadeDeExpressão (translated)

Pedro Menin stated that he reviewed a table sent by a follower about 10 elections and 17 run-offs between 1989 and 2026. According to him, in 15 of the 17 cases, or 88%, the official result was more favorable to the opponent of the PT than indicated by the DataFolha polls. Menin noted that in the second round of 1989, the poll was conducted by Ibope. Based on the comparison, he said that in the second rounds, the ballots favored the PT's opponent by an average of 2 points compared to DataFolha. In the first rounds, the average was said to be 4 points in favor of the opponent of the PT candidate. For this year, he stated that the difference was 5 points in favor of Flávio, in line with historical trends. Menin predicted Flávio's victory, with a score between 52 to 48 and 54 to 46, and urged his supporters to maintain their engagement until the end. He also said they could hold him accountable on the 25th and that they would win. #Eleições2026 #PT #EngajamentoCívico (translated)
