You don't get to vote for/against war in the US... it will happen whether you vote right or left. I think it has something to do with the deep state... AKA the ones that are in power and not elected.

There is no left vote, but otherwise I agree.

I mean we could actually elect congress people with courage who would handcuff the executives ability to take unilateral military action, requiring authorizing legislation for all such actions, but no Reps or Senators of either major party seem to want to push for that.
