I was divided between him and Marisa, and ended up choosing Marisa despite her describing herself as a socdem (which from what she says she believes in, she's much closer to being a demsoc IMO and the BE is definitely a coalition that has socdems but the large majority is socialist) because I feel the PCP is still a bit "conservative" in relation to things like euthanasia and LGBT rights.

Yeah, going into the campaign I was leaning more Marisa, but João campaign really sold me. Him presenting himself as sorta of Constitutional Originalist (our original constitution is actually good unlike the American one so it actualy makes sense to be one unlike the psychos in the american supreme court lmao) was something that I always felt and thought but never really conceptualized fully.
If we're honest with ourselves both BE and PCP mostly offer programs that are Social Democratic in nature, not really of an Anti-Capitalist Leftist Party and Communist Party.
Yeah I've also always had an image of PCP as more socially conservative party, but a lot of times it feels manufatured and greatly exagerated. Although i do agree they are bit more "conservative" in some topics like bullfighting. But the anti-PCP media campaign that the media was on this year with the 1st of May and Avante stuff really made me look at the way the media has portrayed the party over the years and if its actually warranted. It's still something to be vigilant and critical of the party tho. constant self crit is important.
