There is a lot of squabbling between the far left and moderates during primaries. But at this point most of the criticism is aimed at Republicans and Manchin/Sinema.
I haven't seen much of that, at least from the party itself.
You are right... they haven't passed many pieces of legislation that would otherwise be beneficial (both to the voters themselves, and to the fortunes of the Democrats... assuming of course they actually get credit for passing it.)
The problem is obstructionism from the republicans (and, to a lesser degree, Manchin/Sinema). Their ability to "get things done" is severely curtailed, not by people who have big ideas about what to do, but by a party that largely runs on culture wars. Kind of hard to pass anything in that environment. (And sadly they will be at a disadvantage for the foreseeable future, because of the amount of political power concentrated in rural, pro-republican areas. And no amount of "look at what we want to do" will help with that.)
They have two out of three branches of government! If they can't pass anything, that's on them and their inability to get Manchin/Sinema on board. You simply don't see that kind of flagrant disregard for the part agenda from the GOP.
(Also they don't need Congress to eliminate student loan debt, that can be done by EO.)
