It’s a little crazy by the way, but — especially for women that are like past 50 — I’m thinking to myself, ‘I don’t think that’s an issue for you.'

Hey assbag, those women over 50 have daughters, granddaughters, goddaughters, step-daughters, daughters-in-law, sisters, nieces, cousins, and (in at least two situations I personally know of) aunts who are younger than them who this would be an issue for. And not to mention all the men and NBs in their lives who support them and their health.

So go fuck yourself.

[Moreno said] It’s a little crazy by the way, but — especially for women that are like past 50 — I’m thinking to myself, ‘I don’t think that’s an issue for you.

This is a perfect encapsulation of the conservative mindset. "If X isn't applying to you, why do you care?" Project that across so many issues and you see the conservative viewpoint:

• "I don't experience climate change that I'm aware of yet, so there's no reason to do anything about it"
• "I'm not homosexual, so I don't care that homosexuals have fewer rights."
• "I don't have kids struggling with nutrition, so why do I want any programs that help nutrition for poor kids?"
• "I don't have a uterus, so don't care I don't have control over my own body"

Moreno is essentially saying that empathy should be absent in the conservative mind.

It's not just abortion. Republicans are openly entertaining the idea of jailing women for having miscarriages which is a natural bodily function that happens sometimes.

Imagine if Republicans wanted to lock you up in prison for a bodily function you have no control over, you'd get angry too.

Crazy how people are worried about the rights of others

And it's not just abortion, it's a matter of being able to make a decision about your own body without the Government telling you what you can/can't do.

You know, he's not wrong, I'm a single issue left voter. As long as a fascist dictator is on the ballot I simply can't vote for them.

the left has a lot of single issue voters

Really, because it's difficult to find a right-wing voter whose "freedoms" they seem to go bonkers over is guns.

Seriously, next time a right-winger s is shouting about the "freedoms" others are taking away, ask em to name 1 of those freedoms...that isn't guns.

"Bernie’s view is that women voters care just as much about the economy, rising prices, crime and our open southern border"

Economy: almost crashed into a recession because of Trump ignoring covid

Rising prices: because the Republicans killed the price gouging act

Crime: at like 50 year lows

Open border: because Trump had the Republicans kill the Border deal that Sen Langford (a hardcore republican) negotiated and got everything the Republicans wanted.

But yes. Tell millions of women they are crazy.

Most people would become a single issue voter if that issue is "would you like to live?"

Yes, please keep talking. Keep proudly expressing your platform is to deny women self determination. Good strategy.

Bold move to say this in a state where we just put an amendment in about it that passed with 57% of the vote.

But seriously, this guy is an asshole anyway that steals from his employees.

This is the guy who said women over 50 should not have an opinion. Wow.

I don’t think he realized that he shouldn’t say the GOP briefing points out loud

Ah, yes, another old white man who wants to control women. I am so sick of this shit.

People vote against fascism….

“These damned single-issue voters!”

Keep talking. Senator brown needs another 6 years

Is this ghoul trying to set simultaneous records in condescension, hypocrisy and contempt for women?

Because if he is, it's a good attempt and if he's trying to do literally anything else, it's an abysmal effort 🤬

It's just projection they know that they're in base or single issue voters against abortion. The speech is simply a tool to make sure they remember that and they stay on the line.
