It's indeed a shame that the Dems regressed on that issue, and that in the current system you have no alternative choice that can actually win, but sometimes holding a line is all you can do as a single person. The propaganda that the republicans are producing is exactly designed to make sure your position never holds a majority, as with the right stimulation, most people can be made to believe that being pro-war makes you a patriot and a 'true' American. And they've been winning for a long time on that front too.
You can't vote that propaganda away completely with the current democrats, that's true as well. But it's incredibly hard to resist when that propaganda is entangled and mixed in with staying informed about the government and society. Things aren't lost, but if they were hard to impossible before, it didn't make it any easier like this, even progressive minds can be taught to reject progressiveness, so long as you get to them early and overwhelmingly enough.
