This suggests that electoral participation heightens responsiveness to election outcomes. When people are structurally excluded from participation, democratic satisfaction follows a different logic. Also personally meaningful: we use the DeZIM.panel, which I designed & help build from 2019-2022 :)

Sabrina J. Mayer @sabrinajmayer.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
Using longitudinal @dezim-institut.de .panel data, we find that non-citizens report comparatively high democratic satisfaction, but the familiar winner-loser gap does not emerge for them - even when winners and losers are defined by hypothetical vote choice.

Very happy to share new research in @ejprjournal.bsky.social w/ my brilliant PhD student & former colleague @madeleinesiegel.bsky.social (new to bsky!): doi.org/10.1017/S147.... We ask whether the winner-loser gap in democratic satisfaction also exists among non-citizens without voting rights.

Using survey data from the @dezim-institut.de we find: 1) both police-specific and everyday racist discrimination lower trust; 2) non-discriminatory contact increases trust compared to no contact. ➡️ Building trust both requires tackling everyday racism and ensuring equal treatment.
