Whether it is funny or not funny, I don’t see the joke itself, or the point. Is the point you are making that both left and right are equally irrelevant to inequality shown in the second panel?
The ✧˖°.joke✧˖°. is that centrists believe themselves to be intellectually superior to the petty squabbling of the Left and the Right. The reality of North American politics is that Centrists represent the status quo. So if the status quo is rich people get to exploit marginalized communities, Centrists are propping up the capitalists instead of remaining impartial and above all of the noise. The humor is that Centrists are delusional and make bad faith false equivalencies.
It’s really not as hard to parse as you’re making it seem.
Same place. This cartoon is nonsense.

Edit: You have to be dumb to get the joke. If someone has to explain it to you, you’re too smart to understand it, and it ceases to be funny.
