This is really getting old. The parties of 50 years ago are not the same as they are today. Remember, it was Southern and Border state Democrats who did that, not the party as a whole.
People always say that the parties switched or that the parties didn't switch, but in truth neither statement is 100% accurate and the evolution of the parties is a complicated topic. For example, in the gilded age, the GOP supported a nanny state while the Democrats were libertarians, but the GOP has always been more business-friendly and the Democrats more suspicious of business.
It's nice to be reminded of true history, not revised history.
If you actually cared about History, you would have said that Democrats in the senate supported the bill 46-21, meaning that 2/3rds of the party supported it.

Not the Party as a whole but a whole lot of the Party.
You've come a long way, Dems! Way to get on the right side of history!
