I am being increasingly treated as consumer. I can't step out my door in Manhattan without paying for most things. Daily life has been monetized. Notice what has happened to museums, as an example.
Now I repeatedly contribute for political candidates and causes, but vote only once. Which is becoming more important?

I still don't understand how this makes you a consumer -- or how contributing to candidates and causes is the same as paying to get into a museum. Maybe you have two separate questions going here? IMO, contributing to candidates and causes is like volunteering for candidates and causes: it makes you a participant in the electoral process and/or, more generally, civic life.
