While McConnell is exhausting his procedural stall tactics, Sinema and Manchin are trying a bipartisan approach, so they can tell their conservative constituents they tried a bipartisan approach. There's no harm to it. They'll fall in line with the Democrats when the time comes.
The sheer amount of time that liberal activists waste mistakenly foaming at the mouth, because they don't understand how things like strategy and leverage work, is maddening. We waste time, and weaken our Democratic leaders in the process, over naive imaginary nonsense.
Whatever you think of Manchin or Sinema, they've literally never once cast a *deciding* vote against the Democrats. Not once ever. So why the hell are you wasting time foaming at the mouth about them? Unless all you care about is making up excuses to foam at the mouth, of course.
The Democrats in office, on the whole, are fierce and savvy fighters. But their positions are routinely sabotaged and weakened by the fact that most liberal activists spend their time trying to destroy the Democrats in office, instead of throwing their support behind them.
This reality is so painfully obvious to everyone involved, people like McConnell frequently exploit it by leaking false things about the Democrats having caved, just to bait your gullible asses into attacking the Democrats. You're suckers and McConnell is playing you for fools.
1) Stop insisting Democratic leaders do magic wand things that aren't even real
2) Learn how things actually work
3) Stop falling for phony media narratives about the Democrats caving
4) Strongly get behind your Democratic leaders, thus giving them more leverage to win battles
