Yeah, that was the era of the one party system, when Republicans ran everything, and the Corporate Dems let them, because they believed in Lite Conservativism.
The fact that "Democratic" legislation was introduced during a Republican administration, and was voted for by most Republicans, and then signed by a Republican president, would indicate that it was probably not a very "Democratic" piece of legislation.
Back then, it was often hard to tell the difference between the parties. Those differences have widened greatly, and will continue to widen into the future. Just because Conservatives, and Conservative Lites, all backed multiple bills that were engineered to fail, doesn't mean we shouldn't take another crack at it, but in Good Faith this time.
The only reason we can tell the difference between Democrats and Republicans now is because the Republicans finally changed into the demon they've always courted. The Dems are the same as they ever were. The Dems, more out of touch than ever, would produced the same legislation updated with some Obama era metrics. I don't know who you think the Democrats are, but they aren't different today.
