Depends. I'm not big on prescriptivism, and pedantry is fun but counterproductive, but at the end of the day, language is a tool of communication. If you let people fuck with it too much it breaks down, and you end up in a loop of "-No, socialism doesn't work-Norway works-No, that's not socialism-OK, let's do that-No, socialism doesn't work-". Like, in this thread, you have a jackass who thinks "drug legislation", whatever that is, is an inherently leftist position. One thread over, you're talking to a jackass who thinks rent control is left wing economics, and doesn't even read your reply if you don't follow the Leftist owned-ass script he's been rehearsing in his head since he saw Ben Shapiro do it. If you let people make up what words mean, they'll build themselves a whole alternate reality and get lost in the sauce completely.
