I meant "right-wing identity politics" in the sense they've let right-wing commentators set the tone for it.

Instead of discussing the way policy and identity interact and any issues with that, they've just turned to calling things racist or discriminatory and nothing more. The discussion from that group in the party never goes beyond that. What you get is this bicker of "that's racist", "no it isn't" instead of actual discussion and debate about how existing policy is failing certain groups, why, and how to fix that (which is what leftist identity politics should be and what it is with the other half of the party).

Right-wing politicians and commentators set that tone, largely during the Trump era, and a number of leftists have bought right into it. That is the "trap of right-wing identity politics" I mentioned. Could maybe do with a better name.
