And Democrats also have to stop pretending that the values and issues that engage educated, liberal whites - the kind who steer discourse and party activism - align with the values of the non-white working class. The Colbert Report, Twitter, and NPR aren’t windows into the Democratic base.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't see how advocating for better working rights is going to alienate minorities. Do you think minorities are going to side with Amazon over the Democrats if the Democrats are trying to improve conditions? It's not like Amazon has a great public image at this point. People know what/who they are.
