Is Brazil a divided country when it comes to politics? As a foreigner you get the sense that there is quiet some polarisation, similar the usa between Trump and Biden supporters?

Here in Brazil there is an anti-party movement against the "Workers' Party" classified as center left. This was combined with right-wing movements, enabling the current polarization.
Before this movement (started in 2013), Brazil had three large poles, with parties of the left, center, and right, which competed against each other in national elections, bringing together the small parties. #freecompliments
In 1998 there were 12 candidates for president!!

Oh yea, very much so. And while both sides fight eachother, politians work together to their best interest, which is rarely the best interest of the people
How does it work, is it similar to the US system with basically only to parties to vote on?
No, with have tons. But in the end it always comes down to Left vs Right. It's very rare for more than two candidates to actually have a chance. It usually comes down to two
Okay so it similar to here then. And its always framed as good vs evil and never talk about the actual politics.
Exactly!
Totally polarized, especially in recent years.
That sucks to hear. Why has it changed in recent years?
I wonder how much they push the divide in other countries like in the US. The propaganda is enormous.
People need to wake up and realize they are getting played.
Many are but the hard cores are going to die without any sense.
The fact that anyone still watches CNN tells you about their mentality.
