Isn’t that asking the US to interfere in a sovereign nation’s election?

Neither the silicon valley nouveau riche Ro Khanna, nor anyone else who signed the letter, are fit for office.
remember MSM saying women hated Bolsonaro. Foreign Policy is back-pedalling now, even tho they hate the man:
26 Oct: Foreign Policy Mag: How Women Could Win It for Bolsonaro
Brazil’s far-right presidential front-runner made hateful comments a hallmark of his political life. That hasn’t held him back.
by Ciara Long
That women may be a deciding factor in Bolsonaro’s victory, rather than cement his defeat, might seem to run counter to his public image. As recently as last month, as many as 50 percent of women said they would not vote for Bolsonaro under any circumstance...
Despite Bolsonaro’s litany of sexist, racist, homophobic, and autocratic comments, Brazilian women are as likely to support him as their male counterparts. That’s because many of them are tired of seeing near-nightly news stories of political corruption scandals and gargantuan bribes juxtaposed with public services struggling to cope on squeezed budgets and rising violent crime; they want a radically different president than they’ve seen before...

26 Oct: Foreign Policy Mag: It’s Not Just the Right That’s Voting for Bolsonaro. It’s Everyone.
Brazil’s populist firebrand is relying on conservative values, fear of crime, anger about corruption, and rampant fake news to gain support from across the political spectrum.
by Matias Spektor
In the second round of voting on Sunday, he is poised to win the presidency...
More shocking still is that he will not win it on the back of a minority of radical crazies but on a wave of support from the majority of the electorate...
Millions of voters who would have normally cast their ballots in favor of centrist candidates are planning to vote for him this time around...
Bolsonaro has proved to be a cunning campaigner who knows how to occupy the empty space that opened up as the old Brazilian order imploded. Like Donald Trump in the United States, he is not the cause of popular anger but its symptom...
