    The meme isn’t about party, it’s about right and left. The things you want are left wing in the American context. In fact, your positions on healthcare, the environment, and splitting up companies is to the left of where both parties right now. Like most Americans with a lick of sense and decency, you want the world that the left strives for but think left and right means Democrat and Republican. The fact is, the Republicans are extremely far right and the Democrats do a shit job at delivering for the left because they are funded by wealthy interests. The meme is calling out right wingers that proclaim themselves centrists, not people who are to the left of the Democrats.
