go-along

Comply without objecting

A go-along is someone who passively agrees with others rather than asserting their own views—a conformist who doesn't make waves.

The word usually carries mild contempt: He's just a go-along who votes however leadership tells him.

Often paired with get-along: a go-along, get-along type.
