It's only overused when describing others. It's underused by people describing their own ideology.

All political terms are overused and increasingly nonsensical - liberal, conservative, socialist, secular etc

Ties with socialist, followed closely by a tie between Conservative, Liberal, Progressive, and "I'm resigning to spend more time with my family."
