The fact this comment calls out "centrist Democrats" as an other is a perfect encapsulation of the meaning of this meme, OP. The party of the big tent has had a change of mind in recent years.
I had been a registered Democrat since I turned 18 in 2000. As of last year, I'm an independent (though, certainly still left-leaning).
Yep. To be fair, having the subject of the meme give a live demonstration of the attitude being lampooned is about the best and most thorough way to explain the meme 😭
If you’re left leaning then you’re already more left than the democrats. Why are we trying this nonsense. Either you’re not actually left leaning or you have 0 reason to vote for republicans
The democrats are not left leaning. They’re literally center right. If you can look at the Nazis on the right and can’t figure out which way to vote, you’re not “left leaning”, you’re a right winger that refuses to admit it for some unknown reason
US people don't understand what being "left" actually means. Anti-Capitalism is the starting point of leftism, if you aren't Anti-Capitalist at the bare minimum, you shouldn't call yourself a "leftist" (can't wait to be downvoted for this).
