Why we used this label

The case tracks support for continued U.S. military operations against Iran, which Congress has not formally authorized, including whether a candidate would vote for a war powers resolution to remove U.S. forces from hostilities. Gromlich says he is "completely against the war in Iran" and would vote "for removal of any troops already in the area". That opposes continuing the operation, so we labeled it Condemned. The closest competing label is Mixed or conditional; it loses because his answer attaches no condition.
