Political-Selectivism

One who has selective hearing, attitudes, opinions and biases toward a political party or candidate with disregard of actual facts.

It’s unfortunate that the political-selectivism of many in this country has led to blind allegiance based on emotion.

Slactivism

A pejorative neologism combining 'slacker' and 'activism,' sometimes spelled 'slacktivism.' Engaging socially in activism that requires little or no effort as part of a lifestyle or self-identity. Slactivism usually produces no appreciable results and often perpetuates poor research and hearsay.

1. When I heard that Jack was boycotting Taco Bell because he said they exploit tomato farmers in Latin America, I knew it was more of Jack's slactivism. He never visited Taco Bell anyway.

2. Jill thought of herself as an activist. She always hit "Like" on Facebook whenever a social justice issue came up, and she was a part of several Political Action Committee fan pages, but her friends knew her slactivism couldn't be counted on to write Congress or go beyond a few mouse-clicks.

slactivist

One who feels a need to be politically active, but doesn't quite know how and thereby jumps on the nearest bandwagon cause.

When Jenny arrived at University in the big city, she quickly realized the world was much bigger than (insert annonymous hick town). She figured she oughta live up to the University student cliche of protesting something, anything and found the guy behind the "down with the WTO" table very cute. She signed up immediately.
