I'm not saying that to say that the us is any better, but simply for context for what happens when you don't need all the parties to approve:
France effectively has that by way of the infamous 49.3. the majority party coalition can effectively force all others to accept a law, without ever presenting it for a vote.
The caveat is that the other parties can start a vote of no confidence and dissolve the government with a simple majority, but in reality this never happens because dissolving the government over [pension reform, the budget, insert issue here] is disproportionate.
The current government's lack of caring about their voter base because of the Overton windows shifting to the right has obviously aggravated this.
