Political messaging is more than TV ads and mailers. There are rallies, online groups, town halls, organizing, basic human communication stuff.

The way we reign in government isn't by having no rules (the argument you're making reduces to "any rule can be weaponized against political opposition"), it's political checks to ensure weaponization doesn't happen. Or put another way, there is no system of rules that constrains a regime defined by its rule breaking.

Organizing involves advertising

Though I could imagine only official debates and no other communication allowed would be a no advertising approach

Door knocking is not advertising, it's having a conversation with people in your community.

Door to door salesmen were still a thing in the early 2000s

Door knocking is the worst kind of advertising and sometimes it won't leave
