That's oversimplification. Just because you vote Democrat doesn't mean you support all of the policies. There are many practical reasons that come into play.

And your response to Roe is inaccurate. There has been a tremendous amount of pressure in the aftermath of Roe v. Wade. I suppose that many Republicans who lose will do so largely because of Roe. I recall the Dems floating a plan to revise how SCOTUS is staffed, too. It probably won't pass, but it's exactly the kind of thing you are overlooking.
