The Democratic party of 1919 did not have the same modern liberalist principles of the Democratic party of today. The parties are not static entities with the same principles extending back to their founding.

Yeah I know, that also wasn't meant as a criticism to the current DNC, it's more about the word 'Democratic party'.

You have to appreciate the irony of a `Democrat` filibustering a woman voting rights act.

But that's our current view. Reading press articles from back then when this issue was discussed in many countries in Europe is quite entertaining also.
