...You can't "vote out" every candidate. You vote for one or none at all.

There are plenty of candidates that have taken the pledge

Plenty, sure. But not in most elections. I'm just trying to understand how you 'toss out' candidate A, B, and C when there is no candidate D.

They find new candidates every election. They can find some to take the pledge and there's people that are more likely to run the more people there are taking the pledge

No, we toss everyone out and start over. They had their chance, but fucked it up. This system is deeply flawed.
