Ha, Democrats can't even pass higher minimum wage with a house majority. Even when it was Biden's platform.

Not one standalone bill. They had two years of a majority.

There will be no universal healthcare in the USA until Amazon and Meta decide that we should have universal healthcare.

To be fair, the Democrats had control of Congress during an earlier term too (2009-2011), and in that term they passed the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). When was the last time the Republicans passed anything beneficial at all, let alone as beneficial as the ACA?
