Nah, the term "identity politics" remains useful as a means of identifying anyone who uses it as an idiot.

The Democrats obviously need to abandon identity politics in order to appeal to white males in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania with no college education between the ages of 45 and 64.

Both are basically used as meaningless dogwhistles for something bad.

     Most phrases that come into the public political discourse are quickly reduced to something utterly meaningless. "Identity politics" and "neoliberalism" meant something at some point, but they came to be used by people who did not grasp the significance of these terms.
