I have long warned against below-the-belt infighting between Democratic Candidates and between their supporters.  That helped cost us the Whiter House in 2016, with help from Russian trolls and the useful fools on the left, who parroted them.  That must not happen again.  Indivisible has published a pledge to help prevent it.  Here is the pledge.<\/font><\/p>\n

The \u201cWe Are Indivisible\u201d Pledge<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

We must defeat Donald Trump. The first step is a primary contest that produces a strong Democratic nominee. The second step is winning the general election. We will not accept anything less. To ensure this outcome, I pledge to:<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

GRASSROOTS<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make the primary constructive. <\/font><\/strong><\/span>We’ll make the primary election about our hopes for the future, and a robust debate of values, vision and the contest of ideas. We\u2019ll remain grounded in our shared values, even if we support different candidates.<\/font><\/span><\/font>\n
  2. Rally behind the winner. <\/font><\/strong><\/span>We’ll support the ultimate Democratic nominee, whoever it is\u2014period. No Monday morning quarterbacking. No third-party threats.<\/font><\/span><\/font>\n
  3. Do the work to beat Trump.<\/font><\/strong><\/span> We\u2019re the grassroots army that\u2019s going to power the nominee to victory, and we\u2019ll show up to make calls, knock doors, and do whatever it takes.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    CANDIDATES<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Make the primary constructive. <\/font><\/strong><\/span>I\u2019ll respect the other candidates and make the primary election about inspiring voters with my vision for the future.<\/font><\/span><\/font>\n
    2. Rally behind the winner.<\/font><\/strong><\/span> I\u2019ll support the ultimate Democratic nominee, whoever it is\u2014period. No Monday morning quarterbacking. No third-party threats. Immediately after there\u2019s a nominee, I\u2019ll endorse.<\/font><\/span><\/font>\n
    3. Do the work to beat Trump.<\/font><\/strong><\/span> I will do everything in my power to make the Democratic Nominee the next President of the United States. As soon as there is a nominee, I will put myself at the disposal of the campaign.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
