This person is asking this question for the wrong reason, they obviously just want to feed their white aggrievement. If they actually care about the question they'd do a little research and realize women and minority candidates do much better against the Democratic machine because Corporate Dems will quickly label a white man as racist for running against a minority or sexist for running against a woman. Can't do that against a minority or woman.
The smearing of Corbyn as anti-semite is the playbook. Corporate Democrat ideology only allows for representation in elite circles - a black president, a woman general, a trans police chief is the most progressive thing a Corporate Democrat can accomplish. Their ideology does not allow for class politics. We may see their weaponization of identity as callous, but it's the only belief they have.
If Corporate Democrats didn't own the entirety of the party, then we'd probably see more white males running and winning. But Brand New Congress and Justice Dems realize what they're up against.
Or how Bernie was seen as having a misogynistic and racist base, despite it being the most non-white, and more female than male.
People like the Squad confuse the mainstream as they have to find ways to critique her that aren't along the go-to attack line of bigotry, as it is far less easy for people to believe uncritically. Thats when they pull out the "criticism of Israel = antisemitism" and "they're just stupid/inexperienced"

To be fair, Bernie's support was much whiter in 2016. Still, they took something semi-valid and kept repeating it long after it made any sense.
