A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Ha it’s all good. Jokes aside can you break it down for me? Very curious now
So OP is posting about Matt Taibbi, who is a writer who shills for this Centrism or "both parties bad" viewpoint. These talking points are often very subtle right-wing strategies. Matt is there to launder the right wing talking points of others and make them seem acceptable to US Liberals.
The OP's username being "Jimmy Dore is a Leftist" is yet another politically helpful lie. Jimmy Dore had this same centrist strategy, but now it's impossible for anyone to deny he's not just a reavtionary.
And OP is also simping for Cornel West, another reactionary who is at the center of the "No Labels" party. This party is yet another piece of the centrist myth. And yet it's funded by evil billionaires like Harlan Crow, who gives money to Clarence Thomas.
These centrists not only hide their power level that is lie about their true political prescriptions, they are often there solely to fight the Democrats rather than the Republicans - an intentional spoiler third party. In the first past the post system, we are vulnerable to people voting this way rather than using gsme theory to deduce the only proper vote is for one of those two candidates.
And this is all there to put a smudge on the reputation of Democrats. Because Republicans are never purists - they want to win, not be right.
And Democrats do have problems worth discussing, but the game theory of the Presidential vote is this: any vote against Biden is a vote for Trump.
So voting for Biden is Harm Reduction. His wins can delay fascism from taking over the US in 2025.
the fact you would use this ACTUALLY FASCIST terminology makes me suspect you are either trying to paint them as fascists or are one yourself.
