This is just a meme designed to divide people who share common interests in opposing corruption and to turn them against each other instead.

This is a common misconception, but leftists and liberals do not share interests. Liberals are reactionaries who wish to return to a previous status quo they enjoyed, same as conservatives, but they disagree about what point to return to.

Leftists seek to move forward and dismantle capitalism. Liberals would rather (and often do) ally with conservatives to defeat leftist goals, because they know no society enjoying the fruits of post-capitalism would wish to return to the Obama era.

If they weren't willing to do the bare minimum to stop Trump in 2024, we're not on the same side. At best, they're useful idiots for the fascists.

Lol, it's kinda funny, I might not be fully awake, but I read this as "if they [the democratic party] weren't willing to do the bar minimum [not supporting a genocide] to stop Trump... At best, they’re useful idiots for the fascists."
