I think it needs to be applied strategically, in a targeted fashion.

Your last sentence swallows your whole paragraph. And it was weird that you spent the time crafting that paragraph as a way to set up a strawman that consists of identity politics as an across-the-board strategy just so you could knock it down. So weird. Absolutely no one thinks that the broad range of what qualifies as "identity politics" (which is really just shorthand for "things white people don't care about that are important to non-white people") should be the main focus of any campaign.
