The government and the Democrats have everything they need to alter the historical balance of power in São Paulo.

The trio formed by Haddad, Marina, and Simone Tebet is a force that shakes the far-right led by Tarcísio.

What's preventing the government from implementing the three-pronged approach?

Is it Haddad's vanity and self-centeredness? Or the feeling that another defeat could distance him from a presidential project? 

He stated that he no longer wants to be a candidate and prefers to remain in the coordination of Lula's reelection campaign.

The coordination will be handled by the PT (Workers' Party) and forces associated with the reelection campaign.

Alkmin is another who stands out with the electoral strength to form a quartet. He also doesn't want to, preferring to remain as vice president. 

Engagement with the Lula project is not a reality for many. Individual interests prevail and prevent certain arrangements, however promising they may be. 

They don't want to trade the certain and comfortable for the uncertain, for those who place themselves above the collective.

History will record that complacency triumphed over the hope for radical change in Brazil's conservative and largest state, or perhaps it is too early to draw that conclusion.  

Activism is not about forgetting or turning a blind eye to these petty-bourgeois values.

A possible ticket for the state government, featuring Tebet and Raí, is emerging; and what about the Senate, given that both Haddad and Alckmin have ruled out running? Marina?

The Bolsonaro-supporting outsider won the last elections in São Paulo and ran a questionable government in both economic and political terms, embracing militia-style fascism. 

Tarcísio is a mix of Filinto Müller and Plinio Salgado, both avowed fascists and militiamen, a fusion of "God forbid" and "God save me."

Even though polls currently place him in the lead, his position is extremely fragile.

Not having a competent opponent will be a regrettable loss, resulting in the opportunity to ride the saddled horse. 

All those mentioned are well-educated and good at debating, while the occupant of the Palácio dos Bandeirantes is not so much.

He was elected riding on Bolsonaro's coattails, but that coattails are now fragile, rotten in Papudinha prison.

A saddled horse doesn't pass by the same place twice.
