There's a key point in @AOC's first response that we need to make:
She admits that @jimmy_dore's plan to #ForceTheVote on Medicare for all would work — and how it would play out.
1. Threaten Pelosi
2. Hold the vote on #M4A
3. Lose
Then what she asks? Then we vote them out. https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1337619367857713154

In other words, @AOC's objections to the plan are not that it wouldn't succeed in forcing a vote on Medicare for all. But that the sponsorship list already tells us who supports it and that the leverage is best used for things like committee assignments and #PAYGO waivers.
