The post title seems to be satirizing a common argument between factions on the left / centre-left. It can generally apply to various issues (say, universal health care or police reform) but US support for Israel is the current point of contention.
One side is advocating just to make sure Kamala gets the presidency and Trump is defeated, after which point (they say) she can be pressured to ‘move left’ on the subject of Israel, which would mean to enforce an arms embargo on Netanyahu in order to put a halt to the killing in Gaza.
The other side (which is the position being advocated by this meme) are saying no, it doesn’t work like that with Democrats – they profess to be in favor of change and progressive values but once in power, they’ll be under the boot of big money donors and lobbyists in Washington. If you want to pressure on Kamala on Israel (they say) the time to do it is now, while she’s desperate to get elected.
But why? It look more like a fascist telling everyone he’s not a fascist but a “concerned citizen” who deeply cares about the “common people”.
Everyone knows, he’s a fascist but they like the momentum he gives their party and they fall for the illusion, that he can be controlled once he’s in office.
is this some right wing nutter meme in disguise?

That’s the far right and centre right. There is no left major political party.
But yes electing more progressive government shifts the Overton window and gets us closer to leftism.
