squishy
Gives when pressed
Squishy describes something soft and yielding that compresses when squeezed: a squishy stress ball, squishy mud between your toes.
The word suggests pliability and often moisture or give.
Figuratively, squishy means vague or lacking rigor: squishy logic, squishy on the details.
In political contexts, squishy describes someone whose positions seem soft or unreliable: a squishy moderate.
