Obama took on healthcare and look at all the shit that stirred. There is a limit to what democrats can accomplish with the country being essentially gerrymandered republican.
The gerrymandering issues are part of a larger play. Billionaires have corrupted and corroded every avenue for positive change over the last 60+ years. They have created so much paranoia and distrust in the government that even when something positive happens, it’s twisted to the negative. Biden did make some positive plays and no one cared because the entire apparatus of social discourse is diluted by misinformation and disinformation. America is an oligarchy now. This book does a good job chronicling it up to 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Money_(book)
