Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio wrote an op-ed in The Atlantic in which he gives President Joe Biden advice on how to boost his sagging popularity, writing that “when it comes to being unpopular, I’m unfortunately somewhat of an expert.”
“I made my fair share of mistakes. President Biden and the Democratic Party should learn from them,” de Blasio writes, adding that by the time his second term as mayor was ending, he was broadly despised in the Big Apple.
“Why?” de Blasio writes. “I failed to give New Yorkers a clear sense of where I was taking them.”
Saying he faced “crisis after crisis,” Hizzoner said that his connection with New Yorkers was lost after he failed to lay out his “overarching vision for the future.”
Biden is making the same mistake, de Blasio opines.
“As the mayor of New York City, I had one of the loudest megaphones in the country and I failed to use it properly,” he says, adding that Biden should use his much larger megaphone to “show that he truly empathizes with everyday Americans” on kitchen table issues like inflation.

No. Joe’s got his friends in the media cooking up a storm over a woman’s right to murder her baby. If a woman is allowed, then they’ll be able to put bread and butter on their kitchen table and crime will disappear. If a woman has to do it “legally” thru their State, then inflation, crime, southern border, systemic racism, etc…are a serious problem. Good. Let team Biden keep plowing ahead, blaming former President Trump for everything. Red tsunami coming next year.
So he doesn’t actually take responsibility for all his bad policies. He just feels that we didn’t get him.
It’s like when your wife says ” i’m sorry you feel that way”
2024?

Wrong. He gave us a very clear sense of where he was going. And it was absolutely the wrong way.
