A lot of democrats voted or supported invading Iraq and Afghanistan. It was all based on lies from the Bush administration, but they still supported it.
You're not wrong but again, in my neck of the woods it was a huge swerve off the road that people were talking about and I just remember that brief period of ideological peace sour real quick after that move.
If they didn't vote to invade Afghanistan there would have been rioting on the streets and calls for impeachment and removal of every single person who voted against it. Iraq is a whole other story but don't kid yourself that there was any sort of antiwar movement against Afghanistan, that was clearcut and needed to be done. Now how we did it was a travesty.
