      The Dems primarily ran on a "Bush is mismanaging the wars" line rather than an antiwar one. There was never a credible movement within the DNC to end Iraq or Afghanistan.

        Fucking Obama took a real long time getting out if Iraq and fucking Biden was in office when they finally left Afghanistan. There clearly wasn't much opposition to the wars themselves from the dems. The idea the democratic party ever opposed the war in Iraq is simply false. I was there an remember it.

        Nah, I do remember Obama pledging to end both wars, same way Trump pledged to be the antiwar candidate.

          True but remember Obama wasn't the establishment pick in 08, it was supposed to be Hillary's coronation and she never met a war she didn love
