Lakoff on the Democratic civil war

He addresses this in his FB post today. (It's also on his blog for those that don't subscribe to Facef*ck.) The DNC recently removed some progressives and installed some corporatists. It highlights the internecine battles going on within the Party, the progressives thinking the Party should not accept corporate donations. It's also that progressives think the Party needs to return to the issues upon which the Party was founded: "It’s time for the Democratic Party to examine its soul and remember why it’s the only major political party that reflects the progressive idea of our nation – a government of, by, and for the People." That includes the notion that the federal government provides protections for all people, not just the wealthy. It's about the government building the necessary infrastructure that enables business and workers to achieve a livable wage. And unfortunately we the people have been abandoned by the Party that sucks up to the wealthy for its money.
