I dunno why they pluck two old folks anyways. Like fuck, they both need to retire.

Bring some fresh brains into the election..

Hey, they also have the guy whose brain was partly eaten by a worm. The worm must have found his brain fresh enough.

"hahaha guy had a medical condition hahaha what a loser". You do realize that it's a possibility from having a tapeworm? And that it doesn't really pose any complications and saying "it ateba part of their brain" is basically lying?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There was a void in his brain scans. The worm literally ate a chunk of his brain, this is known fact now.

Except there wasn't a worm that ate his brain, and a comment below describes why. But why am I arguing, you aren't here to change your opinion if a medical condition is disqualifying one candidate, and not others.

Where do you get your information from? RFK Jr himself told the world what's up...

Would you rather have a leader with brain worms, or a leader without brain worms, assuming all other things are equal?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You understand that's offensive correct? I imagine you get why but as an example.

Would you rather a hair lip leader or a leader without a hair lip, aiming all other things are equal.

Aside an aside if all other things were equal then cognitive function would be as well. That form of cist displaces grey matter, it doesn't eat it and the brain fog is a result of inter cranial pressure increasing because of the reduced space. Once the cist is gone the pressure reduces the fog fades, you're buying into medical bigotry and pretending it's fine.

That says something about you not him though I don't particularly like the guy either way but it's certainly not because of a medical issue you wouldn't even know about if it weren't for him disclosing it.
