What makes bread-and-butter economic issues relatively unappealing for Democrats?

Getting to know and understand the average Democrat, and fight for them, would require forming a connection to them. The ability to be the Great White Savior quickly falls apart when you go to meet the people you’re saving and find that, 1) they’re largely white, and 2) more closely aligned to MAGA than to you.

First, if that was true then the Democrats would be incapable of winning a single election since the majority of their base would just vote Republican. And then kill the remainder.

And second, if that’s true we might as well give up, since if most of the population are bigoted fascists there’s no way non-fascists will ever be in office again.
