Some of us don’t have the luxury of indulging in protest votes.
Who is this us you’re referring to?
Are you a billionaire? That’s the only group the Democrats are actually serving. The rest get pretty speeches during campaign time and broken promises after the election.

So how about that investment in IRS to get rich people to pay taxes, student loan forgiveness, etc? Doesn’t count? Why?

The Democrats aren’t going to make any meaningful changes to tax policy. They’re wealthy too, you know.
I suppose his half measures are nice. It is a bummer that he’s not doing more considering he has the authority to act unilaterally, and has used it previously. But when you expect nothing, like I do, half measures seem better than they are.
Even so, Biden is a terrible president.
He’s done nothing meaningful about the cost of living crisis. Education and health care are still unaffordable for the working class and poor. This, more than anything else, is what’s going to get Trump reelected.
Roe is gone, and Dems’ response was to fundraise off of it and do nothing else. Idaho even got away with criminalizing abortion, which means 2/3 of the states will do the same in the next year.
Biden’s openly aiding fascist apartheid in Israel with our money. He’s also aiding homegrown fascism in America by helping to militarize cops even further.
Homelessness grew 12% last year alone. The cost of living crisis should be Biden’s main focus, but all he seems to care about is finding more money we don’t have in order to fund other countries’ wars.

Do you not remember that the Republican majority SCOTUS declared his attempt to unilaterally forgive student debt to be illegal? That’s why they’re going through different categories of loans type by type and doing it in batches to ensure each one is on solid legal ground that even this SCOTUS would find difficult to overturn. His first batch after the SCOTUS ruling literally cited a legal basis that SCOTUS had affirmed!
Most of what you ask for requires a Democrat majority so big that they can both pass new laws AND expand SCOTUS. You’re blaming them for things they have no power over.

No.
It requires you to stop voting for broken promises.
And exactly the same as Biden in nearly all of them.
