It is not POTUS who keeps America from progressing. It is the wealthy donors that own Sinema and Manchin + Republicans.
STOP saying its Congress.

(68,351 posts)Sinema are on record supporting Hillary and have voted with the Democrats in all-important votes. For example without Manchin's vote, the ACA would have gone down during the Trump years. We need both Manchin and Sinema for a Democratic majority in the Senate.
Most recently, a number of members of Congress voted no on Biden's bi-partisan infrastructure bill. There was no reason for this that I can fathom.
