political statement
Public ideological position
A political statement is an action, utterance, or gesture intended to express a position on public affairs or social issues.
The phrase often describes choices that transcend their immediate purpose: Wearing that dress was a political statement.
Something becomes a political statement when observers interpret it as taking sides, whether or not that was the intent: Even staying silent can be a political statement.
