I will say, using your opponents own words can backfire. I am aware of a local election a few years ago where it was an organizer vs some democratic party establishment hack, and the hack sent out flyer after flyer with pictures of this organizer at events (so she's kinda sweaty and disheveled because she had been protesting or knocking doors for hours or whatever) with words that she used at the events. One of them even had a QR code you could scan that took you directly to a video of the organizer at a rally doing her speaking portion.
The organizer absolutely destroyed the dem establishment, and when I talked to folks local to the area about it, it turns out that mostly the stuff the organizer was saying was stuff that resonated with the community that voted for her. So basically the Dem establishment candidate was just sending out mailers that told the community "This organizer is someone who cares about what you care about." It was hilarious to see.
The democratic party establishment has literally no idea what real people want or what resonates with real people, so they ought to be real careful giving free advertisement out like this.
