As a politician is it a good thing to tell people you have brain worms?

This guy just pulled a Jimmy Carter

His brain wasn't nutritious enough to sustain a worm.

The anti-vax politician who admitted to having less than a complete brain?

[-] TheDeepState@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe a close 3rd.

This is the best we can put forward as a nation, a narcissist with dementia, a normal old guy with dementia, and a guy who refused to have his brain tumor investigated and opted to believe the one guy that said it could be a dead brain worm. Also probably with dementia. We're fucking doomed. I'm still voting for normal guy with dementia, but... Doomed.

Not an American myself but I remember in like 2016 people were saying you can't have Bernie because he's too old.

And now I'm like wtf they totally could have had Bernie.

I mean look at the candidates now. Out of the potential old men leaders Sanders is the only one I would trust behind the wheel of a car.

When you don't have enough brain to sustain a parasite.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It does explain so many things.

So when they take out the worm, will it be a better presidential choice?

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It is dead, so Congress will not change. The big question is who his VP is.
