The one person who voiced this sentiment in a zoom had been an actual delegate to the DNC in the past so seemed to be wondering what the use was of all her hard work. I was once a Kerry delegate to the district convention because no one else wanted the job and cannot claim to be an expert on the politics of rural Missouri but I am dubious that the state legislature or federal House of Representatives does very little other than squabble over who is the most conservative because they are catering to their voters. To the extent that voters do not want government to work they will never "be sorry".
