It’s a pejorative used by the right as an excuse to maintain the status quo.
In reality, all politics is identity politics.

I've been hearing it in discussions with people who identity as being on the left, that "identity politics" is being used to appear socially progressive by the institutions like the Dems, but actually not progress things which would improve the material reality of marginalised people's lives.
Catherine Liu talks about it quite a bit. Similar take to the brocialists from the other comment I guess.
