Manchin and Sinema say "No" and the whole party bows to them; progressives keep saying "Yes" so the party doesn't bow to them ever. Can anyone explain this to me?

The 8 Moderates used their power. Progressives have yet to use theirs.

One senator can gum up the works when there’s a 50/50 split.

The party is corporate and doesn’t want progressive priorities.

Do you not understand how 50 votes is needed....no wiggle room to get all 50 on board...Vote more Dem Senators in and there more ability to lose a couple senators without changing a bill to accommodate the one...

At least Republicans look you in the eye and tell you exactly how they are going to screw you over. The Dems are the party of broken promises and backpedalling. They’ll swear to deliver the change we so desperately need come election time, though. Good talkers and tweeters.
