Has the Democratic Party really drifted to the right?

I asked in another thread if the Democratic Party has actually been drifting to the right as many have alleged. Not really wanting a derail I figured we could discuss that here.

Is the current Democratic Party to the right on its policy positions from the 80's/90's?

Personally I think they largely are to the left of where they were then. Back then proposing universal healthcare in either party was political suicide but now numerous Democrats openly advocate for it. Back then no one from either party would ever openly support gay marriage. It is now the law of the land and the Democrats make defending it a core part of their identity. Same with transgendered rights. They still feel massive infrastructure spending is necessary. They still are pro gun control. They still fight to keep abortion legal. They still advocate for unions.

So...are they really further right?
