The Democratic party leadership, the old, old guard, has played nice and let the Republican party define what the Democratic party is. Many people do have an unfavorable view of the Democratic party not because of what they've done but what the GOP has told people what they've done.
You have nailed one aspect of the divide. Hillary was defined by the Republican Party as crooked and she subsequently lost, though with the party by coronating her with super delegates, did not help her cause. A sham primary with Bernie Sanders who was not even a member of the Dem Party?

Then Biden came along, not the most dynamic of people but a decent guy with decades of public service, yet the GOP again branded him and his whole family as crooks mostly because of his son Hunter's shady past.

As for Kamala, she should never have been the nominee. She was "nominated" not because she was winnable, but because of money, the money Biden's campaign had raised with her as the side kick. The GOP even managed to get the black and latinos opposed to her candidacy.
