Has your candidate taken the Indivisible pledge?

At the link you can see who has and ask the others to do so.

The candidate’s pledge: (mahalo FailureToCommunicate)
I pledge to...

"Make the primary constructive. I’ll respect the other candidates and make the primary election about inspiring voters with my vision for the future.

Rally behind the winner. I’ll support the ultimate Democratic nominee, whomever it is — period. No Monday morning quarterbacking. No third-party threats. Immediately after there’s a nominee, I’ll endorse.

Do the work to beat Trump. 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."

For us:

We must defeat Donald Trump. The first step is a primary contest that produces a strong Democratic nominee.

Candidates in blue have not taken the We Are Indivisible pledge. Click the Twitter icon to tweet and urge them to take the pledge.

The weekend after the Democratic National Convention, we show up.

Saturday and Sunday, July 18 and 19, 2020, the weekend after the Democratic National Convention, Indivisibles and others will host 2020 kickoff events across the country to show their support for the nominee and hit the ground running to beat Trump in 2020.

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:
Make the primary constructive. I’ll respect the other candidates and make the primary election about inspiring voters with my vision for the future.

Rally behind the winner. I’ll support the ultimate Democratic nominee, whomever it is — period. No Monday morning quarterbacking. No third-party threats. Immediately after there’s a nominee, I’ll endorse.

Do the work to beat Trump. 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.
Make the primary constructive. 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’ll remain grounded in our shared values, even if we support different candidates.

Rally behind the winner. We'll support the ultimate Democratic nominee, whomever it is — period. No Monday morning quarterbacking. No third-party threats.

Do the work to beat Trump. We’re the grassroots army that’s going to power the nominee to victory, and we’ll show up to make calls, knock doors, and do whatever it tak
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

have all taken this oath.

But, among those who show as having taken the pledge, I don't believe that one actually means it and there is evidence already to show that.

I am also surprised to see that Biden is shown as NOT having pledged.

I hope he will. I’ll send his campaign the question.

On the other hand, I doubt the intent of one of the candidates that has already signed this pledge. Does the "I will do everything in my power to make the Democratic Nominee the next President of the United States" include rebuking previously paid campaign staffers and surrogates that openly promote third party candidates all the while they trash the Democratic Nominee?
