Our broken electoral system means that our only real resolution to pressure politicians is primarying - in a healthy multi-party system one or a few parties would likely defect to the public will. Since it’s awful democrats or world ending republicans there’s almost no justification for democrats to reform their position as a group - just for vulnerable ones to defect to defend from being primaried.
The key here is to remember these votes for the next primary.
A good portion of US citizens are ashamed of their government’s actions and speak out against them by protesting. The government knows no shame tho.
