Oh, this is a hopeful sign. If no one of significance stands up to the illiberal authoritarian leftists who have taken over the party, this all just gets worse. I'm hopeful something like this could create some momentum back towards sanity.
Obama: I worry progressives may undercut Democratic allies
"One of the things I do worry about sometimes among progressives in the United States —maybe it’s true here as well — is a certain kind of rigidity where we say, 'Uh, I’m sorry, this is how it’s going to be,' and then we start sometimes creating what’s called a 'circular firing squad,' where you start shooting at your allies because one of them has strayed from purity on the issues. And when that happens, typically the overall effort and movement weakens," he said.
"So I think whether you are speaking as a citizen or as a political leader or as an organizer … you have to recognize that the way we structure democracy requires you to take into account people who don’t agree with you, and that by definition means you’re not going to get 100 percent of what you want," he added.
He's arguing for actual liberalism to return to the party. Here's hoping.

Nope.
Barack is the primary cause of most of this mess, and he's trying to wash his hands of the results.
I think that's partially true. He may have created a monster, or at least played a role.
He didn't govern as a hardcore left winger though (as much as the hardcore Right wants to pretend that he did). But his wins definitely energized the Regressives within the party, and now here they are, in control of it.

Obama's been talking about a revolution since his college days.
Now that the revolution is here he's trying to keep from being blamed for making it happen.
Without Obama putting the right people in important positions these folks never would have been able to infiltrate the government and steal the cash needed to make it a reality.
Obama believes in overtaxing benefit programs to the point where they literally collapse from their own weight.
It took an ignorant socialist to make it possible in the United States......it's already happening all over Europe.
