SUMMARY
— what i learned
1) Holding one bill hostage creates leverage over Manchin, who can't be trusted to vote Yes on another bill.
2) Bill was "gutted" and base is angry.
3) Symbolic protest vote to please their base.
4) They would have voted Yes if necessary to pass it.

IN A NUTSHELL
— leverage over Manchin
We (The Squad), won't vote Yes for your Infrastructure bill until after you vote Yes for our Build Back Better bill; because we don't trust you Mr. Manchin.
Now I understand.
