Force the vote

From ProleWiki, the proletarian encyclopedia

Force the vote was a failed attempt by US activists to "force a vote" on Medicare for All by urging The Squad to withhold their confirmation vote for Speaker Nancy Pelosi as leverage.[1][2]

The purpose of the vote would've been to expose which so-called "progressives" aren't willing to stand up for policies that would actually help the working class of the United States.
