    Smart enough to try to imply voting fraud by allegedly being able to hack into the voting system, then claim election fraud, dumb af by officially meeting a guy that was already being investigated and then have one of his (bolsonaro) close allies hire this guy to allegedly manage their social media, whom was prohibited of using the internet (I know, weird, but it was because of a previous investigation involving invading a judge’s telegram account)

      He wasn’t smart for implying fraud, what are you talking about? He was clearly following his supporters wishes to hijack an important discussion of election accountability by making highly simplistic claims. Do you remember that? The whole thing started as a valid and important discussion which the bozo nutters made sound ridiculous and dumb. He was only a puppet for the right wingers, like what Dilma was to the left.

          There were branches of the political spectrum who brought up the discussion of accountability of the Brazilian electoral system. It had to do with the fact that the only way for a recount of total votes is now 100% based on software which no common citizen can understand and/or check. How can a voting system be fair to an entire population when only a few highly skilled people can actually understand its inner workings? My opinion in this particular matter is irrelevant here but this was the topic that I said bozo’s supporters highjacked to push forth their own agenda. Which in turn ridiculed the whole thing for no gain, whatsoever.
