We don't have an actual majority. No matter how many times people think that Democrats are just gleeful in their floundering, it always comes down to having the courts stacked against them and a lack of actual membership in Congress --- the media doesn't report on the victories, just the negative reaction to any possible progress.

If they wrote a law protecting abortion (how would it get passed with the makeup of the Congress?), it would just be challenged and struck down by this Court, exactly like the Voting Rights Act was.

If you're asking why we aren't just passing hundreds of Executive Orders, it's because actual progress would require real legislation, not just fiats that can be overturned by the next Republican in office.
