Democratic activists need to know direction the Party is going?

2. Wasting our time, yes.

When we get defeated in elections, our elected officials creep back in their holes and wait to see what happens. Some will show some spine this time, since it's becoming clear that conciliation amounts to suicide. It won't take long to figure out who has a spine and who just hopes to ride out the storm and get reelected. I expect to see some life from some of the progressives in the northern states. The national party organization looks pretty discouraging, and they won't let go of the neoliberal experiment just yet. A progressive revolution is bubbling beneath the surface, but it's not a certainty, maybe not even a good possibility.
