Lest we forget, the Unity Pledge.

Indivisible’s Candidate Unity/Civility Pledge Important for 2020

snip

“A national progressive group, Indivisible, is asking the 20 candidates in the Democratic presidential race to sign a pledge promising a positive, ‘constructive’ primary that ends with all participants coming together to support the eventual nominee — ‘whoever it is — period….’

“The Indivisible document asks candidates to agree to three terms: ‘make the primary constructive’ and ‘respect the other candidates’; ‘rally behind the winner’; and ‘do the work to beat’ President Donald Trump. ‘Immediately after there’s a nominee, I’ll endorse,’ the pledge reads.”

It sounds relatively uncontroversial, but it’s hard to get political candidates, who are, by and large, desperate to win, and their staff, whose lives will take a turn for the worse if they lose, to look kindly on a pledge to hold anything back. And there’s always the suspicion that talk of civility represents a sneaky effort to encourage unilateral disarmament by opponents who won’t return the favor….

The problematic underlying reality is that more than a few Democrats believe that only their faction is capable of beating Trump; different Democrats have very different theories as to “electability.” And then there are those for whom winning the “struggle for the soul of the party” trumps any general-election win.

A candidate must control their staff and supporters. If they can't? Then they are not Presidential material.

Here is a fact for you. When the next Democratic President sits in the oval office they are going to have to start from close to square one just like Obama with one of the worst financial crisis.The next one is going to have to start by repairing the near irreparable damage that trump has done to us and the world.

Fact is our job does not end on election day, it is only the beginning.

Be ever vigilant.

1. If I recall, a Democratic candidate today called Biden a "liar" today in a campaign video.

2. Well, hells bells.

That sure shows unity.

Wasn't around today, so not sure what you are referring to. Just think of the ways that could have been framed better AND show unity:

1. I whole heartily disagree with you.
2. With all due respect, I disagree.
3. Sorry, you are, in my opinion, wrong and here is why.

You lie is not one of them.

See how easy it is.

3. It hasn't gone unnoticed who's breaking it..

9. Some have broken this pledge

Sad to see Kamala Harris going back on her word. The hit she carried out on Biden was shameful. Make no mistake the clear implication made was that Biden wasnt a friend of African American community. I'm still awaiting an apology
