Well Manchin is up against a red base. Sinema is not. So I mainly blame her.

So that is what I don't get - how can you blame her or Manchin? Sinema, Manchin and a bipartisan group of Senators developed and passed the infrastructure bill in the Senate. It's the progressive's that won't pass it in the House unless/until the the trillions that were taken out in the compromise are passed in a separate bill by the Senate.

Essentially they are holding the 1.2T infrastructure bill hostage until they get what they want. And you blame Sinema, for holding up her own bill?
