📢 new #openaccess article w/ @felipegsantos.bsky.social & Matthias Hoffmann. We describe protest participation as a gradient. We distinguish between non-, potential & actual protesters. We then pinpoint key factors increasing the likelihood of moving from non- to potential & actual participation.

Hello world! 👋
As a first post, here is a thread with my latest publication with @danmercea.bsky.social, exploring what drives support for movement parties.
We find that their voters don't favor institutional outsiders or candidates with protest experience. They prioritize decisive policy change.
