This is the fundamental message of the modern Democratic Party.
“Yes, you will still be boiled alive, but we will do it more slowly.”
And what’s extra hair-pullingly-frustrating about it all is that they’ll get blamed for the boil anyway… which will result in Republicans winning and turning up the heat.
There’s no way out. Its either a crew that will compromise and fritter away what time we have left or a crew that will pedal-to-the-metal straight off the cliff.
That’s an inherent trait of “liberal democracies” such as most (EDIT: democracies) in the world.
When they were forming, each had something else to compensate for this, be it a constitutional right of the military to change governments and ban parties, or quotas for party representation, or a monarch with some overruling powers, or a good tradition of countrywide protests with molotov cocktails over any grievance, one can go on.
Now they all converged to something averaging the working mechanisms of the 80s and 90s, and that doesn’t work. Well, if you take two kinda similar mechanisms and make something from a common subset of their parts, it won’t work if they are not redundant.

Just enough to get elected, never enough to solve the problem. Job security…
That’s not a joke by the way.
