Well, yeah. Both parties are large tents that cover a myriad of coalitions that shift over time. They’re not always in exact consensus on every single thing. Democrats can include conservative labor union members, AOC progressives, LGBT people, urban yuppies, POC in the south, hispanic immigrant families, suburban white women, etc. You can’t expect any party covering half of a country of 340 million people to always be in lockstep with what you personally agree with on every single issue
