He should have considered telling people about it during that debate on primetime national TV.
I swear to God democratic PR personnelle is all Republican sleeper agents. They are so inept it's maddening. Women lost their reproductive rights, Trump tried to overthrow our government. Biden should be just repeating these points over and over again.
Just like Republicans do when they find themselves an issue.
Stop trying to explain stuff to Americans, they are too stupid. Just hammer easy to understand points that are wrapped in emotion.

Yeah he could have mentioned that in the debate
Americans need to get off the political extremism ride, it’s not a good fit for you guys. Go back to drinking milkshakes and talking too loud in Europe.
Are you saying we don’t do those other things? We are perfectly capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time, thank you very much
DID SOMEONE SAY MILKSHAKE?!?
The answer to uniting the US was there all along.
Well this election isn't about reading anymore. It's about who's still alive on election day.
He asked americans to read? He really really doesn't want to be president anymore
Not just read, but read a nearly 1000 page, dry, political document
keep up with the brilliant campaign strategy, Joe. tell people to read... that'll go well.
If he was still capable of using the bully pulpit (and if he had ever been seriously interested in using it at all), he could start at the beginning and focus on one section at a time over the course of weeks. Instead he's telling Americans to read something that is simultaneously dull and hateful with no context.

He finally getting around to this huh. The whole damn party needs to be drilling this into the American psyche. We really need an ethical individual - well as ethical as you can find, it's a pretty big ask - to serve as a rally point for the Democrats. I mean, we could have had Bernie but Hilary and the DNC fucked that all up thanks to their complete unwillingness to read the goddamn room.
Ethical? Just get Jimmy Carter back up there. If Dems are willing to look past the age issues with Biden and say shit like "you're electing an administration, not a person", they might as well go with someone that actually has a good track record.
Bonus points if he can pull off a new "energy crisis" too. Might do us good to increase the incentive on transitioning off fossil fuels....

Bill Clinton: "Violence has no place in America, especially in our political process"
Bill... c'mon. America is violence's head cheerleader.

Biden has a point.
Obligatory "if these Americans could read, they would be very upset."
And if (when?) people come after democrats violently, I doubt trump will call for an end to it. Democrats once again bring a sternly-worded letter of disapproval to a gun fight.
Biden's not wrong.
It would be an win to just mention a few things, but there are issues with it that would deter people than no person would mention.
