For starters, this simply isn't true. Dore has agreed that Sirota's suggestions should be part of the demand.
Next, Burgis continues to ignore the crux of my argument -- perhaps because he has no response to it.
The *reason why* public officials don't suffer at the polls for their failure to endorse Medicare for All is because the media/pro M4All dems don't hold them accountable.

There is a presumption that most Democrats support M4All: Enormous percentages of *Biden* voters thought he supported Medicare for All. Both Biden and Ossof tweet "health care is a human right" even though neither supports single-payer.
The goal is to expose the chasm between what Democrats want and what elected officials support. (Again, I made this argument explicitly in my @curaffairs article, but it wasn't engaged by Burgis). https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/12/the-case-for-forcing-a-floor-vote-on-medicare-for-all
