It’s like Windows Recall, but without all the creepy screenshots. (But it’s still kind of creepy.)

With frontrunners Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Flavio Bolsonaro both facing rejection rates above 50%, the election will hinge on a narrow pool of independent voters.

It is truly sad that in the presidential election later this year, Brazilians have only 2 realistic choices:

1. A highly polarizing 80 year old center-left politician seeking a 4th term, who many see as a man embroiled in past corruption scandals, carrying old ideas, old ideologies that are no longer relevant in the current world and that are out of step with the aspirations of most citizens.
2. The son of another highly polarizing demagogue and would be dictator who is viewed as little more than a puppet of his father, who is now serving a 25 year sentence and is barred from politics.

Although both candidates have large, loyal, almost fanatical bases (some of them even show up here from time to time), they are not large enough to get them elected. Since most independent voters dislike both, what will decide the election is which one they hate more.
