I believe it if they say that's how it's more often used, but the left by no means has a monopoly on identity politics.

I mean, it's not the side I see walking around wearing matching hats.

I mean you could read the title.

Study: To US Papers, ‘Identity Politics’ Is Mostly a Way to Sneer at the Left

It says nothing about how only the left uses identity politics...

I'm agreeing with the article, using an example to reiterate the article's central message that there's a discrepancy between how the term is usually directed vs reality.
