They support

Abortion (in campaign ads and fundraising emails)
Religious freedom (by wagging a finger when Republicans don't and then doing fuck all about it)
Police reform (by throwing cash at cops for "better training" while refusing to actually change the inherently abusive system)
Civil rights (sometimes) (when it won't effect the bottom line of their owner donors like AIPAC and the fossil fuel industries
Drug decriminalization (in theory, but never in practice)

they are trying to encapsulate and entire half of the political spectrum

No. They are trying to be IN CHARGE OF over half of the political spectrum. The only ideologies other than their own (which is center right to right wing) that they ever try to appeal to is the couple dozen "undecided that are almost but not quite Republicans" left in the country.

There's going to be gaps, disagreements between individual party members, and places where one policy or value has to override another.

Nope, there's going to be nothing but neglect and abuse towards anyone to the left of the leadership, which is now to the right of Reagan.

In spite of the name, the Democratic Party is not democratic or even a party. It's a private for-profit corporation controlled by a small group of people who are in turn controlled to varying degrees by rich people, other corporations, and industry lobbying groups.
