The main thing democratic elections are designed to ensure is peaceful transitions in power. This is extremely dangerous nonsense.

“making him the first Brazilian president to lose a re-election bid.”

Ouch. That’s gotta sting.

What’s the CIA budget for Brazil?

Before Sunday's vote, Bolsonaro repeatedly made baseless claims the electoral system was open to fraud and accused electoral authorities of favoring his leftist adversary.

Of course nothing like this could happen.

Interesting fact, not exactly the best way to be the first president doing something.

Before Sunday's vote, Bolsonaro repeatedly made baseless claims the electoral system was open to fraud and accused electoral authorities of favoring his leftist adversary.

At least he is indirectly conceding defeat, that makes him less of a sore loser compared with those that keep making those claims endlessly.

Not so interesting when it is common knowledge that Lula was disqualified from running for president in 2018, as a result of being arrested for corruption and money laundering. Probably not the best way to be remembered to be the first president doing something.

At least he is indirectly conceding defeat, that makes him less of a sore loser compared with those that keep making those claims endlessly.

The first sentence notes he avoided conceding defeat.

And there are no other Brazilians "making those claims endlessly" so this is a misdirected remark.
