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?
When you have a 50 +1 Senate, a single democrat has an inordinate amount of power to kill legislation. A $15 minimum wage was a non-starter for Manchin and he made that quite clear. Get more Dems into the Senate and then Manchin’s power is diminished greatly.
