Step 2: Turn the fight for M4A during a pandemic into a progressive event a la Occupy and the Bernie campaign.
Step 3: Coordinate with pro-M4A organizations, unions, and media to force the issue into public consciousness for the months leading up to the vote.
Step 4: ???
Withholding their vote for Pelosi is the most power the "socialists" in office will have for a long time. A fight for M4A would breathe life into mass movements which are struggling to respond to the current pandemic.
These politicians are supposedly of these mass movements, so it seems worthwhile to push them for the next month to withhold their vote. It is an experiment to see how much they actually respond to pressure.

I appreciate the answer, I'm not sure whether I think this will result in anything, but I at least understand why people think it is worthwhile.
