Exactly. In the recent past (and even now), the Democratic Party leadership has always been afraid of pissing off those white middle class voters such that they are afraid to do anything that might be considered "progressive" or "far left." While Republicans are steamrolling over them with the most radically right policies and laws since Reagan/Nixon.

We've seen and heard Biden make "fiery" speeches before, for example. He will not actuallly do anything, though, about the Court's latest outrage, even though he could if he had the cahones. That just who Democrats are: a lot of talk and bluster, but no real or life-changing action.
