That is absolutely not what the far left wants, the US is just that far right that reasonable outcomes are considered far left.

Yeah. That's like center-left in reasonable countries.

Yeah. I don't know if the meme originates from the US, but it seems so. Where I'm from, centrist and much of the right would consider this "far-left" view an obvious norm.

When same-sex marriage was voted in, all but one state voted over 60% Yes (some over 70%), despite much of the nation having voted in a right-wing government just two months earlier.

The meme's "far-left" view is a start, but it's not a 21st century far-left.
