No, the standard for Dems is "don't rock the boat". The Right moves things further to the right, the Dems don't let them go back to the left.

How are they supposed to do that while being outnumbered in Congress?

Note that Repubs have a more solid group than Dems in the Senate, because Dems have to win states with more compromising candidates like Sinema/Manchin/Lieberman/Fetterman/etc, whereas the Repub states are solidly Republican.
Just see how Repubs were able to stymie Democrat Supreme Court Justices, and how many they were able to install.
