Republicans have a clearer message and connect with voters better than do Democrats and President Biden, New York Citys left-leaning, ex-mayor Bill de Blasio, said Friday. De Blasio said the inability to dispel ideas with simplicity and clarity is a Democratic problem that he failed at as the Big Apples mayor and now he sees President Biden is struggling in the same way which could prove deadly to the partys success in the upcoming November elections. What pains me, Brian, is we never lacked contrast with the Republicans especially in the age of Trump and we never lacked subject matter. We lack simplicity and clarity, de Blasio said in a return appearance to his former Friday at 10 AM slot on WNYC Public Radio with longtime host Brian Lehrer. De Blasio went on to call it a fixable problem with a president who can communicate with empathy.

He also critiqued Biden for failing to communicate to his base and the American public in general, using the comments the president made after the leak of the Roe v. Wade overturn decision. That next morning, Joe Biden was on the tarmac before leaving to another part of the country and reporters got up to speak to him. And what I wanted Joe Biden to do was be clear he gave sort of a dissertation on the Supreme Court, on his efforts to stop Robert Bork decades ago, all sorts of things but he never said this one simple sentence. The sentence I think, millions of Americans, particularly millions of American women needed to hear, which is, I will fight like hell to protect a womans right to choose,' de Blasio, who mounted a Quixotic bid against Biden in the democratic primary for president, said pointedly. De Blasio admitted Democrats have alienated progressives particularly in the labor movement, seeking to restore credit to the party for coronavirus vaccination efforts, stimulus packages by the Biden administration and helping Ukraine defend its borders against Russia. Can Democrats do more to help organize labor? 100%. And we should. But I think this is not lack of achievement, I think we are not speaking to working people. And were not making clear that were on their side, said de Blasio, who is unemployed, living in a hotel and amassing a mountain of debt.
