Why would they even try to introduce sweeping, life altering regulations when they can’t even get the Republicans to agree to the microscopic ones?

It doesn't work that way. Its not an either or. Democrats receive "donations" from fossil fuel corps too, so its not in their interest to propose reforms that arent microscopic. Only the justice dems advocate something slightly more substantial.

I guess I just want to see something happen. Every journey begins with a single step.
We’ve made practically zero progress on issues like gun violence and climate change, with the biggest argument being that each individual change won’t completely solve the problem so we shouldn’t do it at all.

the tea is that while voting is a must, otherwise you are self sabotaging, america also needs direct action (protests, green strikes, etc) if you want things to move.
Just voting will not do significant enough changes in any country, politicians must be pushed to do more, more explicitly.
Remember how the civil rights act was passed.
