Well, agree to disagree on his motives, I guess.

I took it to mean “Harris (or whoever) will be under the boot of corporate news in a flash, and we’ll be - electorally, percentage-wise, and all the other horserace materials that so stress us the fuck out - right back where we are now.”

To me, that reads like an indictment of corporate news, or perhaps a sort of DC status quo, and specific to the presidential election. But it doesn’t seem like he’s even interested in any part of progressive/centrist politics other than he specifically calls out centrists as being part of the problem. Like there’s no mention of issues.
