Exercising choice as a consumer is not by definition political, but can be political. I think the technicality you pointed out is incorrect. Oxford: (political) "Of, belonging to, or concerned with the form, organization, and administration of a state, and with the regulation of its relations with other states." [1] Webster: (political, (2)) "of, relating to, involving, or involved in politics and especially party politics" [2] I would therefore interpret taking a principled stance because of concerns for personal safety as not political. As another example, OTOH, given party politics can be either pro or anti-union, boycotting Boeing (based on party politics) because it was pro or anti-union - would be political.
