No, 2020 was unique in that in the general election, there was little talk of American ventures overseas. A product of that is Bernie Sanders losing in the primary and there being more attention-raising issues with Covid and the protests, but the fact that both candidates advancing to the GE are very much not anti-war is something as well.
With the Democratic establishment more unified than ever with progressives kowtowing to Biden since the convention, there’s no real appetite or care anymore. Even in the third party scene the care seems to be increasingly focused on COVID stimulus and aid, along with issues affecting people’s living standards during this precarious time.
I suspect this might be subject to change as a sort of attempt to pull disgruntled progressives to third parties, but weaker than ever and less pronounced given that’s not where the care is anymore to get people energized. Unless Biden starts a war, which case could be like his Benghazi and Syria, that is changing of nothing.
Edit: oh this is on Afghanistan. People especially don’t care about it now.
