@benroyce For all the USAians who want perfect or nothing, rather than just merely better – this is how you do it – Lula is far from perfect, but he is far, far better than the alternative.
All we need to do now here in the UK is persuade those on the “left” to vote for actual left-leaning candidates rather than the “left-wing” party who might be slightly left of actual Fascists, but are still somewhere to the Right of Thatcher *spit*.
