Michael, if you want to know what the Democratic Party vision for the future is, why don't you contact the DNC? The DNC is on the web. You might also contact the NDN ("New Democrats Network") for a more Republicrat vision, or something like the Black Congressional Caucus for a more liberal-progressive one, etc.

In any event, it is the party activists and officials who develop any party's"vision of the future." Don't expect ordinary registered Democrats to formulate the vision for you. Registering to vote is not the same thing as joining a church, after all. There is no catechism or creed that one is expected to learn. Nor is one required to recite a pledge of allegiance to the party.

It should not surprise you that so few of the people you call "Clinton defenders" are actually registered Democrats. A large proportion of the electorate is not registered with either party -- but Independents nevertheless vote, and actually dare to have political opinions. As for registered Democrats, they often vote for Republican candidates, just as registered Republicans often vote for Democratic candidates. Most people do not choose to live in neatly categorized boxes.
