Forms of political participation are myriad, and some politically driven actions occur outside the political arena. Political consumerism is one such fixture. The two major features of political consumerism are boycotts and buycotts. Boycotts are the intentional foregoing of product purchases, while the converse, buycotts, are the intentional acts of purchasing or consuming a product. While research exists on boycotts/buycotts in the American context (most notably, Endres and Panagopoulos 2017; Kam and Deichert 2020), most of the existing literature is focused on European democracies. The United States is unique in many respects, and the American experience in this area might be another anomaly. To gain a clearer understanding of the American political consumer, I employed a survey of approximately 1,100 respondents, and found that Democrats (liberals) choose to buy or not buy products or services from a company due to different business policies than Republicans (conservatives). There also is a gap between the participation rates of Democrats (liberals) and Republicans (conservatives). Democrats (Republicans) and liberals (conservatives) express a greater willingness to purchase goods from a company whose CEO is a Democrat (Republican). Among all four political groups, social pressure (awareness of a boycott) and the price of goods generally do not influence consumer decisions. And, while affective polarization is evidenced in the data, awareness of a boycott of one's in-group company or one's out-group company did little to move levels of affective polarization which remained largely stagnant across conditions. These findings expose another layer of political polarization, one that covers an area outside the common political arena.
