The modern era is a lose-lose for them. Either they keep their dignity and get ignored, or they could stoop to the level of the opposition and lose the respect of their constituents and themselves.
I would respect them a lot more if they actually put some effort into being an opposition party instead of saying they hope the Republicans will engage in bipartisanship. They're losing lots of respect for their apparent lack of a spine.
Lack of spine? Or is it just lack of substance? Lack of credibility? Lack of talent? Lack of focus on the issues that people actually care about? Lack of leadership? Lack of a real true grass roots base?
The Democrats are basically in complete shock right now and probably realizing that they’re gonna have to rebuild the entire party. I fail to see anyone at this point in time within the Democratic party that is capable of taking the reins that has any charisma or plan that really addresses the key issues that most Americans care about.
The only bright spot (as far as liberal media seems to be determined) for the Democrats seems to be a young upstart mayoral candidate in a large American city who they don’t even support.

If that's the case, so be it. Step down and leave it to those who do have all those factors.

I see some. They are of course cast down for the same reason Kamala was (despite her being much more moderate in comparison). Legacy media is not going to show off that charisma, you need other channels.
it's a lose-lose game cuz they are held to a much higher standard than their opposition. and also because their opposition is held to no standards at all
