> The metaphor I can't get out of my head for Harris’s brand is some hopelessly confused concept for a restaurant: say, one billing itself as a “Cajun-influenced, vegan-friendly, Tex-Mex cantina and speakeasy”. If I accused such a restaurant of lacking vision, the proprietor might say “What do you mean? We're a Cajun-influenced, vegan-friendly, Tex-Mex cantina and speakeasy! The vision couldn't be any clearer!”.

This is perfect. And not just for Harris's brand, but the counterpart to this: how Harris framed Trump. It was hopelessly confused.
