There were issues, but it wasn't like this. They were stubborn assholes, but a lot of good stuff got passed through them. There's a big difference between "how good can we make this bill" versus "will healthcare subsidies still be paid?"

Manchin actually lied to McConnell at one point that he didn't support the infrastructure bill so McConnell would let the GOP vote for it on the floor. Manchin switched his vote to a yes and the bill passed
Oh yeah I'm not trying to say they're exactly the same but that there is a trend of there being just enough Democrats to flip on a vote the party supports to keep it from going through. But back then was smaller potatoes compared to now.
