Its just about strategy, they can still fix the civil rights issues when they get to office. But they don't need to run on them, everyone interested in identity politics (sans the white nationalists) is already voting Dem. Campaigning on these issues doesn't win any new voters. They need to court all the centrists and right-wing people who aren't rich.
Make the election about putting more money in everyday people's pockets. Run on "no taxes on your first $30k of income". Severely cut taxes on everyone below $100k, and start adding new brackets at $1m and every $500k above that.
