It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Haven't gotten around to trying to really read this article in full but it looks like you've got a pretty serious misquote.
That last paragraph you quote, which is at the end of the article, is followed by a single sentence given its own paragraph. So it actually reads as follows:
Emphasis mine.
So he's not saying it'll actually happen. Of all things he's rejecting the "40k Ork logic" that you're trying to pin on him. It sounds more like he's lamenting that 'If Democrats weren't lying, maybe Kamala Harris winning would lead to better circumstances, but they are lying.'
Cutrone has had some completely garbage takes (e.g. Palestine) but we don't need to stoop to the level of misreading him so carelessly. That benefits no one.
That's a fair point, but that's the article as I understand it. Maybe I read it wrong, but he spends the entire time acknowledging it to be a lie, that's why I said he admits Kamala is lying. He is at one step rejecting it, and the other embracing it. I think the issue here is a disconnect on what I meant and how you interpreted it, I probably could have worded my point better. Thank you for pointing that out.
Emphasis mine.
This is more or less what I'm saying. He writes this as he wishes it to be, he says he wants Kamala to win so he's no longer a target and hopes everything gets better, even if he knows better. That's the 40k Ork logic at work.
That being said, I'll add the final "but it is a lie." I left it out because I believed it to be redundant, but for transparency I'll include it.
