Political parties have a platform -- a document voted on by convention delegates that explains what the party believes in and the policies they support.
Democrats passed a platform during their convention. It was far too long, about 91 pages, and few people will ever read it. But they have one, and anyone wishing to know what the Democratic Party supports can easily access it online to find out.
