David Miranda — The real reason Dilma Rousseff’s enemies want her impeached

Regime change.

The country’s elite class and their media organs have failed, over and over, in their efforts to defeat the party at the ballot box. But plutocrats are not known for gently accepting defeat, nor for playing by the rules. What they have been unable to achieve democratically, they are now attempting to achieve anti-democratically: by having a bizarre mix of politicians – evangelical extremists, far-right supporters of a return to military rule, non-ideological backroom operatives – simply remove her from office.

What so-called liberals can't manage at the ballot box they seek to do with other means. The right wing in the US did the same with Bill Clinton almost from the get go and finally managed to impeach him but not remove him. Similarly, as soon as Barack Obama was elected, the leadership of the opposition announced that they would "break him."
