Yes. That kind of labeling is a nice way of short-circuiting people's though process. If you label someone, then everybody can see that they are either friend, or enemy, and you don't have to spend further energy trying to see if what they are saying makes sense. It is terrible for rational discussion, and I wish people would just stop doing it.
It seems a small minority on the left and probably slightly larger one on the right love to pigeonhole people into these categories. Meanwhile the majority don't really think of themselves in those terms and are feeling politically homeless.
