See, this is the problem. People don’t vote for individual policies, they vote for candidates.

Not really. Some people love the candidates but I suspect a lot of us vote against the other side more than for a candidate.

correct, their vote says "I'm okay with everything this candidate says they'll do."

You can't cherry pick policies from a candidate and pretend your vote is not culpable for all the harm it inflicts.
