Messaging faux pas imo, because if we say we’re anti big business, Republicans can easily turn that around to attack us. Corporations, no one likes, so voters would be far more receptive to that messaging and the GOP can’t attack us without sounding out of touch or admitting to the reality that the party is bought and paid for by billionaires and corporations.
Otherwise I can imagine any average small business owner going “wait, if I achieve success and make my business grow, you’re going to be against me?”. You’ve gotta create separation, no small business owner thinks they’re a corporation and they also don’t like the big guys kicking the little guys. Win-win.
Don’t mention being anti-business in anyway, that’s terrible even with stipulations, because voters will only hear “anti-business”. Keep it simple: We’re fighting against the corporations who make your life harder and more expensive. KISS, voters are not smart or tuned to politics.
