I think there are two major reasons why Dems have gotten significantly less popular, but in this thread, I'm referring to the knee-jerk reaction I've seen out of many to react with smugness.
Democrats make a habit of being assholes to people, usually over stupid things, like someone using the term "homeless" instead of "unhoused". That's the sort of thing many people couldn't care less about when they've spent the last four years getting poorer or seeing their spending power vastly diminished.
The people whose votes you need do not like you, and they don't feel like you like them.
