Teen libertarian is face of Brazil's young free-market right - Yahoo News

SAO PAULO (AP) — Microphone in hand and standing atop the sound truck, the raspy-voiced protest leader jabbed his finger into the air shouting for the ouster of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, igniting wild cheers from the crowd below him.
"What Lula and Dilma have done shouldn't just result in their being banned from politics. It should result in them being in jail!" Kim Kataguiri yelled, denouncing Rousseff and her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Dilma (and nowadays Lula as well) are extremely divisive, to the point that some fear (or hope for) another military coup.

Just saying. Never mind me.

Sound like turn of the last century Mexico. Vive revolution!

I suppose that would be so if it were possible a real candidate could actually ever get nominated.

Real candidates get nominated, but typically only in 3rd parties.
Even in the Big Two, there is the occasional good one.
I never voted for him, but I thought Reagan was a cut above the usual pandering empty suit.
You might not like his politics, but he did what he said he would in his campaign, & he showed much skill in domestic & foreign policy.
