This is basically it. The Democrats figured out that they don’t have to promise anything substantial as long as they can scare people into voting for them because the other team is worse. They can also rehash old promises as long as they find some excuse not to deliver on them when they have the power to do so.

Precisely, that's the whole genius of the lesser evil narrative.
