It's tone deaf and unclear is the main problem. The tweet itself isn't clear if it's in support of more intersectionality and more focus on class, or if it's calling for the end of identity politics entirely. You're right that more intersectionality is needed, entailing more talk about class, but I doubt mocking identity politics at its face is the way to do it. The way the tweet is framed strikes as mocking the idea that cis white privilege exists at all. At first glance it looks exactly like the thing a chud would post, which has been a problem even here.
Lots of folk will say we should tone down our accusations of racism and how we talk about gender, because that supposedly alienates some true working class, as in, cis white guys wearing overalls.
There are much more clear and simple ways to express class based politics without looking like a reactionary bozo in the process.
Its extremely unprofessional and unserious in general for a party to be making statements intended both to advertise and educate with literally just a chud meme and a one sentence quote that only barely scratches the surface of what they wanna say.
Yeah, if this was purely meant to attack bad faith usage of liberal identity politics, there are more clear ways to do it. Make it sound like a democratic politician somehow. This seems a lot closer to left punching, it's very much going "how do you do fellow workers, I also get annoyed by those activists and campus politics". It's not some sober analysis of how liberal politicians have abandoned labour, it's virtue signaling to people who get annoyed by certain type of language (which I've rarely heard in the past decade anyway).
