Being the adults in the room is a clear-cut political disadvantage for Democrats in the US, probably a 5-10 point nationwide hit.
Doing the right thing is always the hard thing. Doing the right thing is always the costly thing. The hope is that the majority will see who does the right thing every time and who never does the right thing and over time support the right thing. The only alternative is to decide these things don’t really matter, and lose our soul as a nation.
