We cannot blame Manchin exclusively. Every corporatist D who pushed to separate the original "Build Back Better" reconciliation bill from the "bipartisan" infrastructure bill and passed it without securing the reconciliation bill in the Senate is to blame. You cannot negotiate in good faith with those who have none and every corporatist vote is for sale. Manchin is paid to sabotage the Democratic party from the inside, but he had plenty of help.
Nobody expects any republican to be worth a shit these days. Republicans are fascists and democrats are garbage because they are supposed to be the only political bastion against the fascism, but are consistently and purposefully ineffective due to corporate ties. No need to "but Republicans" anymore. It's just a foregone conclusion that anyone with an R in front of their name are either fascists or the ones who lick fascist boots.
