Moderates (the Democratic party) punch left while running only on the premise that they are better than Republicans. The result is that we have slid further and further to the right. This has been the last 40 years. They must unapologetically embrace leftist solutions in their platform to shift us back, but that would be problematic for the corporate overlords that control both parties. The neoliberal notion that change must be exceedingly slow is such hogwash and only benefits those in power.

Hate, as an emotion, is usually a feature of the extremes. Moderates are about compromise, even with things you hate. This is what you hate about them. They do not hate you though, they want to compromise with you.

Your hate is one-way, it is not returned.

edit: Wow, really unpopular. I'm serious though, moderates don't hate you. They just don't want to give you everything. They want to give all their constituent factions some things. Remember, compromise is a state where no party is perfectly happy, just, everyone gets something.

It's just a blatant hit piece against the Democratic candidate days before an election in a shameless attempt to suppress left wing turnout and try to help the Republican candidate win. They did spend an entire sentence glossing over the existence of the Republican in the race, though:

His opponent, Republican candidate Mazi Pilip, also has pro-Israel credentials: She served in the Israel Defense Forces.

Yes, that's right; the Republican candidate was an actual fucking IDF paratrooper. And the Intercept wanted her to win because of delusional fantasies of an anti-Israel progressive winning the Democratic primary in June and then going on to win the general against (the now incumbent) pro-Israel Republican moderate in a moderate, pro-Israel district; fantasies that could not come true if the Democrat was incumbent.
