In the United States no progress is made at all. Nobody expects leaps and bounds. Everything is getting consistently worse each and every year.
Define “everything”
Cost of living and individual rights.
Buddy you mentioned some pretty fundamental aspects to peoples lives getting worse. If life isn't getting worse then what do you suppose is getting better that makes up for unaffordable homes, loss of rights, historic levels of inflation and so on?
It's not this simple. The electoral college makes the decisive vote. Voting third party statistically shows dissent and can help these parties qualify for federal funding as well as gain exposure. The GOP and DNC have effectively been playing tennis with abortion and gun rights for decades, this is the only way I personally see any other meaningful legislation hitting the floor or positive change in the long run.
