Brazil heads to a Lula vs. Bolsonaro cage match

Original version ·

It looks like the Brazil election is turning into a sequel nobody asked for.

The first round of voting ended with a collective shrug, meaning Brazil is now officially locked in for a high-stakes rematch. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Jair Bolsonaro are squaring off again, and the country is more divided than a bad Thanksgiving dinner.

While Lula expected a clean sweep, the right wing showed up with way more momentum than the pundits predicted. The dream of an easy win vanished, and now both sides have to scramble to convince the people who stayed home on Sunday to actually show up next time.

It turns out that when people are tired of the status quo, they just end up picking the same two familiar faces all over again.
