>...When Obama took office, the new POTUS' policies aligned to a significant degree with the anti-war protestors. What actually changed? We left Iraq at the timetable Bush proposed and I think Obama wanted to extend it past that but couldn't come to terms with the Iraq government. There was a troop surge in Afghanistan - the thing that was criticized when Bush did it. People have a right to their opinion and the right to protest, but it does appear the anti-war democrats weren't quite as active once the POTUS had a D by the name. I don't have space to go over the foreign military adventures done by Obama, here is an overview: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/03/obama-doctrine-wars-numbers/474531/ https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/03/ob... >...This is true "political correctness" Not really. The OP asked for politics that didn't work and got consistent support. I listed a few ones that came to mind. I also think these bad polices are also endorsed by conservatives. Rather than attack the idea that people could ever be wrong, why don't you address the policies I brought up and explain why either they are great polices or that democrats don't support them.
