@abelgonzalez158 Yeah, I just said that, vote or no vote, replacing corporate Dems, which she just helped do, is still the main thing that needs doing. The bill will be reintroduced in the next session, and you'll get a new list of people who won't sign onto it, during a pandemic, already. Almost 100 more people need replacing in the house alone. Finding 100 new pro-M4A candidates to run, and backing them, is more important than trying to ferret out a few fakes. All it took was one reporter's question to get Biden on the public record saying he'd veto M4A. It didn't take threatening to paralyze the house, and possibly having to go through with that.

@abelgonzalez158 That's what I said, threaten to paralyze the house for a vote. No, that wouldn't necessarily lose her the speakership. It would go back to the Dem caucus, where corporate Dems have the majority, and progressives have no power to block the majority, and they can keep picking her over and over and over, while letting you paralyze the house over and over and over, and then blame you for no new covid relief, no minimum wage increase, etc., to help ease people's suffering during a pandemic ... you know they, and the corporate media, would propagandize the shit out of it, making progressives look bad in many people's eyes.
Dore and Kyle have even argued Pelosi would rather work with Republicans than progressives and that she's the queen of backroom deals. She could just cut a backroom deal with Republicans, in exchange for enough of them to say home, or abstain, to lower the threshold needed to win.
It isn't risk free and the only possible outcomes pluses.
