Control of the supreme court is important, and Dems take full responsibility for punting that for a whole generation. It's very easy to say "well, this is impossible nowwwwww" on every topic while ignoring the lack of discussion on the topic when it was possible. I am not supporting anything Republican, I'm just stating that the Dems love to talk about issues they "can't" fix, and they just need "more Dems," and they could... and yet they don't really have much of a track record even when they have those "more Dems" and there is always an excuse as to why something couldn't happen. 
Both parties work for corporations. Dems are better when it comes to social issues; that is undeniable. But, if you look at covid policy as an example, Biden and Trump were pretty much in line so far as policy even though their tone and communication differed greatly when it came to the subject. Example being Biden standing behind the shortened quarantine time that by the CDC's admission returned 33% of people to work while still contagious, all during the worst covid wave we had ever seen. Now, Biden was much better in talking about masking and vaccination, etc. but policy-wise, they were both very pro business in a way that harmed the average working American. 
I'm not stating that both sides are the same on everything just that they align often when it comes to corporate interests, and there will likely always be just enough "rogue" senators to block legislation that reduces corporate profits. If you look at moments where corporations need things (ie the bailouts for the airlines), you'll see how quickly laws can get passed.
President Joe Biden will call for quadrupling the levy on corporate stock buybacks and renew his calls for a minimum tax on billionaires during his State of the Union address Tuesday. 
“This minimum tax would make sure that the wealthiest Americans no longer pay a tax rate lower than teachers and firefighters,” the White House said in a preview Monday of the economic aspects of Biden’s speech. >

Hmm, I was about to say there's no way this passes, but I imagine a billionaire tax could pass through reconciliation right?
Though I would bet on conservative Democrats like Manchin killing it.
Edit:  I should note it'd also need to pass the Republican controlled house.  So I'm back to the first thing. This isn't gonna pass even if they try to put it to a vote.  If it gets out of the Senate, it's dying in the house.  I'd be happy to be convinced otherwise, of course. >

The VP only votes if there is a tie after all Senators have voted. Manchin and Sinema voting no would result in a 49-51 tally. >

There's also the non-trivial consideration that it would still need to pass the house, which just isn't going to happen.  I could maybe stretch my imagination to conclude that every Democrat would vote for it, (which is far from certain), but I would then also have to imagine a handful of Republicans in the house voting against their party. >

Yeah, and it's why Biden is calling for it now. Silent on the subject when he had control of both chambers. >

The problem with our government is that it's easy to place the blame on a party that has control of all branches of government--until you peel it back, and realize that in actuality, they don't have enough of a majority to even really be able to do anything meaningful because just enough people sitting in those chambers are willing to vote against crucial and necessary initiatives.
To break the deadlock a party needs to have absolute control over every level of government.
The way our government is set up, and with the 24/7 war of information being conducted, we will never see unanimous control. The only thing we can hope for is that there's enough people sitting in those chambers that can prevent widely-spanning and destructive legislation from being passed.
