OK, so in the ripest conditions imaginable, to paraphrase you, you force a vote and M4A fails to become law. You've just handed an incredible talking point to M4A opponents who are going to repeat ad nauseum for the next two decades how even in a pandemic, M4A couldn't pass, because even in a pandemic the voters sent to the capitol a bunch of M4A opponents and to the White House the one guy on the Democratic slate who didn't even pretend to favor M4A. That'll be what we'll have to argue against for the next twenty fucking years.
I want them to be fighters, who’re constantly showing the people that socialists are fighting on their behalve.
Re: primaries, the slimy bastards that you want to primary can do as others have already said and vote for M4A knowing that it won't actually become law. Then you actually lose that talking point against them in the primary, thus worsening conditions for leftists.
Considering the fact that the democrats now have all branches of governement, that means M4A would pass.
If, on the other hand, some do what you describe, there is a massive campaign against them and they lose their seats, the rest will then have to make the calculation that voting against it during a second vote would destroy their career with almost certainty.

AOC isn't a socialist.
If that happens, you created amazing conditions to primary establishment democrats, which is exactly what you want.
Then why are you defending her?
Someone can reply to you because they disagree with your characterization, not just they have decided that AOC is worthy of defense
