The comments from the "Democratic strategist and former senior adviser to Stacey Abrams" are so out of touch. "I think a lot of people voted with a false sense of security,” said Smith. “Folks were betting that if they voted to enshrine abortion protections, Donald Trump wouldn’t actually co-sign a national abortion ban."

They don't like the candidate that they see as a continuance of the last 4 years where things have only gotten worse. They don't like the candidate that got zero delegates during the primaries. They don't want to vote for republican lite when the real thing is literally right there. Maybe if they pushed for something for once but it's pointless the even gesture towards that because they have no actual interest in making things better or even winning.

They don't like the candidate who sat around and did nothing with the administration's power when Dobbs dropped

Exactly. Why would anyone expect them to do something in the next four years? They've already had two and did nothing. Every other promise they made before the 2020 election they folded on, and they were making new promises for the next term, acting like they weren't already in power.
