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?

Most politicians in congress are corrupt corporatist and most progressives are not, so most politicians will side with Manchin and Sinema because they are conservative corporatists who the corrupt corporate politicians agree with!

Progressives werent willing to say no
They're afraid these Dino's might defect to the Reps.. Can't we convince Romney to trade places with Manchin & then have Sinema vote last on the Filibuster & she can curtsy & take several bows to clapping & shouts of Bravo from her fellow Dem Senators. She might like that.

No, can you explain that to them!. They are the weak ones who need to understand how to use their power. Stop with this 1990 politics and this stupid ass nice posturing and start calling these mfs out.

The Democrats love being cowed. They will bend over backwards to avoid a fight. It's part of their DNA.

Because the feckless progressives keep saying “yes” and that’s it. They refuse to use their power and withhold their vote to block legislation in order to get what they CLAIM they support then vote along w/the corporatist conservatives anyway.
People are afraid of change. Leftists sat back frustrated, and watched "progressives" vote for Biden. There will always be a "Trump", when will "we" get it? #DuopolyExit

Of course. Thanks for asking. Bernie Sanders can't get us to 51 votes. Senator Manchin can. Sometimes the extremes are right, but the only way for extreme opinions to move the swing votes is to tell the truth well.
