I don’t get why they are coping so much over this. Just face the facts, nobody cares for her
Part of it too is there's no traditional punching bag they can blame.
She didn't have a primary, can't blame a "contentious primary" that "gives ammo to the GOP candidate" - there weren't enough votes for 3rd parties to say if only the greens voted for the Dems they could've won - they got to run the exact campaign they wanted, nobody in the party was fighting for control like a Bernie wing, the oppressed minorities mostly acquaiesced quietly - and to top it all off, Trump won the popular vote and kept a lot of his 2020 vote.
So the wild rage has no target and the media doesn't actually care all that much that the Trump transitioning is happening despite the hand wringing, so there's no one to triangulate the insider dem commentariate's rage. And they cannot accept that they themselves are to blame, almost like congenitally
They've never had to face the music like this before and like a child that was never held responsible - in this case quite analogous to a rich kid who got away with being a hellion in school and then hit the real world - they're freaking the fuck out.
Not since Dukakis, at any rate. Or Mondale. Or McGovern.
THE PARTY CANNOT FAIL, IT CAN ONLY BE FAILED
