Manchin hasn't totally caved yet.  I totally agree with you about the taxes.  I think the only thing that Manchin and Sinema did was pulled it back from what it would have been, without their refusal to conform to the WH.  They've dropped a lot of the climate change, paid leave, medicare expansion, etc.  I'm not singing their praises, but I feel like they have reined in the progressives a bit.  This was going to happen no matter what.
