All because of their being so unpopular.
Its why the Republicans despite actually having a majority for 12 years (one of the few times in the last century they have held a majority for any length of time), did not have the popular support to get hardly any of their agenda enacted. Because the Democrats are so unpopular.
Until Republicans wake up and move more to the center, they are going to keep losing elections.
As to the video, a during a typical day of right wing talk radio, far worse is said about Democrats then that little tongue-in-cheek video. Besides, half of what was brought up in that video, cons have actually argued in favor of on here.

Then again, they may not be.
The Blue-dogs are beholden to the conservative voters that helped elect them. Therefore we may see some real fractioning within the Democrat party in the years to come.
Ask the GOP what happens when the tent gets too big. |

Much like that video. |
