Gov. Wes Moore said repukes are all about "Ballrooms, Bombs and Bitcoin" instead of affordability for the people

He's said it a few times. That's a great short and sweet affordability message we need to use. There's so much "shit" that we can attack that a message could get lost. We need to stay focused on affordability IMO. It's a winner as long as we pound it and keep it short, tough and widespread. Cost of living affordability. And none of this "are you better off now than you were 4 years ago" shit. That phrase turns people off. It had it's day but no more. Fresh new ways to stress how much the repukes have allowed this President to run rampant with our tax dollars and profit themselves while the rest of us continue to struggle. Moore's slogan "Ballrooms, Bombs and Bitcoin", "They Don't Care", simple slugs that get the affordability message across. yes, Americans need to be reminded how bad they've got it compared to these fat cats that are raping our children and our treasury. They need reminded every damn day.
IMHO

None of those directly impact people. They all indirectly impact people.

You can define in debates and interviews. We live in a world of sound bites and loud headliners and Meme's on SM, like it or not. And a message like that will get to a non voter, a sideliner. THOSE are the places we need to fish besides Independents. The very short attention spanned phone in their face types and the non voters. There's 90 MILLION of those folks. Get 10% we're golden. Trying to convert moderated repukes is useless. They've got the MAGA't needle in their arm. IMO
