Reevaluating the concept of the critical citizen(2017) Fuks, Mario; Casalecchi, Gabriel Avila; Araújo, Mateus Morais; Tribunal Superior EleitoralSeveral studies have used the terms critical citizen and dissatisfied democrat interchangeably, assuming that both address the same citizen profile. However, recent studies conducted in new democracies have questioned this assumption, arguing that those who are dissatisfied are not always critical. This article investigates this question based on a comparison of the United States and Brazil. Beginning with the classification of two types of citizens, dissatisfied democrats and critical democrats, we appraise whether dissatisfied democrats are critical. Then, we test which of these two types of citizens is more engaged and has attitudes that are more democratic. The results show that dissatisfied democrats are not necessarily critical and that critical democrats are more engaged in politics and more committed to democracy than non-critical democrats.
