"The Same People who told us that the Progressives need to cave and let the BIF pass because Manchin and Sinema would vote for it "

The Infrastructure bill first passed the Senate with many Republicans supporting it. Back in August. It was not up to Manchin and Sinema:

The US Senate passed a historic, sweeping $1.2 trillion bipartisan package on Tuesday by a bipartisan majority vote of 69-30 to shore up the nation's crumbling infrastructure with funding for priorities like roads, bridges, rail, transit and the electric grid.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/10/politics/republican-senators-voted-infrastructure-bill/index.html

So, yes, it was a historic badly needed vote that the House had to support. But the left wingers saw their change to hold this bill hostage to pass a more difficult and expensive bill that, as written had no chance to pass the Senate.

Not that it matters to you but this was as far as I got in reading your... whatever.
