What were the major differences between liberal and conservative democrats after World War 2?

why was the Vietnam war contraversal

Progressive Democrats support universal healthcare, oppose war as well as corporate influence on government. They prefer a more direct form of democracy and are very critical of Rpublicans. Conservative Democrats are more moderate and are willing to make deals with the Republicans. The Vietnam War was controversial because of the amount of human rights violations committed there. As the U. S. became more involved in the war, it found itself fighting a new type of warfare. Unreliable allies and a determined enemy frustrated the army’s efforts in fighting the war. When scenes from the Tet Offensive were shown to Americans, support for the war declined and they had no choice but to pull out of Vietnam.
