There were over 500 other politicians who endorsed this; but I think she built her brand among those who feel particularly betrayed. And there is also a dose of misogamy, here and there.

But why do people feel so betrayed after older votes and actions should have triggered this much earlier? And will most of this go away soon?

We have very few progressive voices in the government, it sucks to have them betray principles we thought they had

"progressive" doesn't mean "leftist". Sometimes they agree on policy, but the progressive is just a brand of liberal. I mean, we're talking about a term embraced by Teddy Roosevelt and prohibitionists
