Why Do Political Campaigns Use So Much Slang?

Political slang is like a special kind of language that politicians use to make their messages more exciting and relatable. It helps them connect with people, just like how kids use cool words in the playground to sound more fun. Instead of saying 'we want to improve things,' they might say 'let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work.' This makes it easier for people to remember what they’re saying.
