Casting economic justice advocacy as racist & sexist, as @Bravewriting does here, is beyond disingenuous. Economic justice disproportionately helps women & people of color & almost everyone who supports it passionately advocates for targeted racial & gender justice policies, too. 
Corporate Democrats know perfectly well that, while more representation for underrepresented groups is a worthy goal, it does not trump all else. Otherwise they’d love folks like Sarah Huckabee Sanders & Clarence Thomas. In other words, they know their own arguments are nonsense!
Calling everyone who supports Bernie Sanders sexist or racist is akin to calling everyone who doesn’t support Bernie anti-Semitic. It’s obviously wrong & betrays either dishonesty or ignorance.
The good news: the folks who call themselves Democrats but attack social justice advocates on Twitter, while loud online, represent a very tiny fraction of the Democratic Party. Most Democrats engage in good faith most of the time and support economic and social justice policies.
