In a lot of cases, I'd suggest that both moderate men and women are likely to be less political or perhaps just more focused on pragmatic aims like graduating college, student loads, potential job prospects, getting laid, etc. This article kinda seems like another attempt to equate moderation with conservativism and goes on to enforce the ridiculous purity test that's required to be a "real" liberal.
I mean Biden has a 40 year record of neoliberalism, but sure. I'm fine with the whole return to normalcy and getting the fascist goons out of the White House, but I do hope that the "we'll hold his feet to the fire after the election" sentiment is genuine and doesn't devolve into "Yeah, but Trump was worse!" rhetoric that I'm cynically expecting.
