mainstreamer
Goes with majority
A mainstreamer is someone who holds conventional views or follows popular trends rather than alternative or fringe positions.
The term appears in political contexts for those aligned with a party's dominant faction, as opposed to extremists or reformers: The mainstreamers in the party pushed back against the populist wing.
It can carry dismissive overtones when used by those who see themselves as outsiders or innovators.
