You want something different get on the team, cheerlead the things that are going well, ask for more when they don't go well. But remember who is trying to help you and find ways to get them more power. You want more of the same, just assume that every reasonable person has the exact same beliefs as you, and anyone who doesn't isn't rational.

That is correct, the President can't force votes. The system is set up so the house and Senate are checks on Presidental power not to follow it.
Trump's cult of personality is enough for Republican congressmen and senators to be fearful of the backlash and to be primaried.
The Democrats don't have the same groundswell to control primaries at the presidential level.
That said, there was an article posted a few pages back that demonstrated that while Biden is getting chastized in the media, what he's actually accomplished to this point has been impressive.
