No. We, the Brazilian people, elected these senators.
> I do not vote for a bunch of fascists just because some judges are being overreaching and hypocritical
"Just" because?
These judges were not elected. Not a single Brazilian voted for these judges. Yet they legislate and execute. They have been "overreaching" since 2019, seven years now.

If you're going to accuse people of "fascism", then you should start with these judges and work your way down.
> Specially when these same senators just want to flip which side of this terrible equation gets screwed, instead of going after both.
There is no way for the senators to do that. Senators don't appoint supreme court judges, presidents do.
I do understand your concern, though. Many of my friends cited this as their reason for voting against Bolsonaro. They didn't want him to appoint four judges to the court. I had the exact same concerns about Lula.
It's quite telling though that we're even evaluating candidates based on how many totalitarian judges they will have in their pockets. Can we at least agree on how utterly backwards and wrong this is?
The plan was to impeach the judges and then limit their power by converting the supreme court into a purely constitutional court, just like the US supreme court. That would permanently fix the problem, no matter who wins the elections. People told me that Lula promised to do this and it's technically true, but I seriously doubt he's going to do it. He plans to rule through the court.
