How Far Left

Shows how the Brazilian cities, states and regions named in news and on X voted, using official TSE election data (2002–2026).

How Far Left shows, next to Brazilian news articles and posts on X, how the cities, states and regions named in the text voted. Each place gets a badge with the PT candidate's share of the valid votes in the presidential runoff. Click it to open a card with: • the latest runoff result, compared with the state (or region) and with Brazil; • every runoff from 2002 to 2026. All numbers are public data from Brazil's electoral court (TSE): only counted votes, no party ratings. PT reached every runoff in this period, so the same measure works for every election. It runs on major Brazilian news sites and on X. On X it also reads quoted posts and image descriptions, and, if you turn on the optional image reader, the text inside images such as a screenshot of a headline. On other sites, click "Analyze this page" in the toolbar popup. The interface is in English or Portuguese, following Chrome's language (you can change it in the options). It also reads English-language news about Brazil and, if you allow it in the options, runs by itself on major English-language news sites. In Brazilian Portuguese, the extension is called Esquerdômetro. How places are recognized A name shared by towns in several states is only picked with context: the state's abbreviation, the state in the page address, or other places in the text. Without context it's skipped, because no badge is better than a wrong one. Privacy All data ships inside the extension. No text, address or personal information is ever sent anywhere. Images in X posts are downloaded from X's image server and read on your computer. If Chrome has its built-in AI model (Gemini Nano), it can double-check the badges on your own computer. Chrome downloads that model only if you ask for it in the options page. This version covers places only. Politicians and parties will come in a later version.
