Description
We should all be paying attention to the historic comeback victory the left just pulled off against Trump-like fascists in Brazil. President Lula da Silva made a historic comeback, defeating far-right challenger Flávio Bolsonaro after trailing in the first round. Young people took to the streets, organizers mobilized voters, and a WhatsApp channel reached millions in a matter of weeks.
Status Coup’s Jordan Chariton breaks down how the left helped turn the election around—and what organizers in the United States can learn as they confront Trump, MAGA and the corporate political establishment.
