Identity politics is important and anyone on the left who trivializes it is playing into the right's hands, the right are the undisputed masters of identity politics and they know it, the last thing they want is for the left to weaponize it as well, this is why self proclaimed anti-idpol leftists like Jimmy Dore are so popular with the right because they're useful idiots.
What Democrats do is surface level pandering to marginalized communities without actually doing anything to change the system that is oppressing them. The problem isn't identity politics, the problem is that everyone knows the Democrats are full of sh*t.
