LOL politics in the rest of the world outside the US, Canada, Europe and China

On caipirinhas, or is there some other awesome Brazilian mixed drink that I don’t know about?

Haha she actually doesn’t like caipirinhas, she drank margaritas and I surprised her with her favorite champagne when it became official.

Caipirinhas > Margaritas >>>>>>>> Champagne, but can’t hate on any type of celebratory drink after this result.

She didn’t drink until she came to the US so she hasn’t really had a chance to try many of the Brazilian drinks. So most of her favorites are what’s widely available here.

Lame. If they were Americans there’d be no tears to be shed because they already be arming up.

So, no capeta?

Wow, this is great news. Honestly, was sweating bullets over this one.

That’s a great summary. Thanks!

One question: Is Labor basically the shitlibs?

Labor party in its prior form was the governing party from 1948 to 1977. Then again with Rabin and then again with Barak. They are currently something like a 3:2 favorite to even make the minimum seats.

The big party of the non-bibi side is Yesh Atid (that translates to “there is a future”) which should get 20-25 seats

Well if your main left party is the Liz Warren party, that’s a bit better than it being the Joe Biden party.

Nah, both “left” parties are fighting to make it over the threshold. The big party is bidenish

Do you speak both Portuguese and Spanish?

Yeah. Woke up in the middle of the night and had to check results, these posts make me feel mildly optimistic. Election feels more important for my daughter and soon to be born daughter #2 than for us olds.
