Dems had the presidency and Congress

When and for how long? Because they had a majority for a short time at the beginning of Biden's presidency but two "Democrats" kept voting against Democrat legislation, destroying their very slight majority. One of them has since declared themselves independent and has been voted out of Congress.

you didn’t hear a single one of them talk about raising wages

Biden had to use exectutive order to raise the minimum wage of federal contractors, because he can do that without Congress, because they're federal employees. Another Biden accomplishment that went right over your head. It's also largely up to states to determine minimum wage. In California we just voted on raising the minimum wage higher than it already is, which I believe is $15, which is higher than a federal minimum wage increase would be anyways.

addressing corporate corruption

Democrats introduced an anti-corruption bill in 2019. Again, when they actually held a majority for a short period in Biden's presidency, those two pesky "Democrats" kept voting their legislation down. One of them was making big money from the oil industry. Again, it was a majority, but an ultra-slim majority. Can't get much done with that.

You need to understand that your opinions are formed from a place of ignorance. You are commenting, and voting, from a standpoint of ignorance. Which is largely why you are a Green Party voter. A party that cannot, and will not, win an election, because they haven't done the national canvassing necessary to build a coalition that can actually win federal elections.
