It is a requisite of liberal, democratic politics to presuppose the existence of individual subjects.
These citizen/subjects (you/me) are deemed capable of reflective and critical distance from a possible course of action. They are also assumed to be equal to the task of taking and being charged with unique responsibility for those actions. Such democratic societies encourage unfettered, public debate in the belief that their subjects, you and me, would be ultimately responsive to the force of better reasons and would act accordingly, i.e. at the polling booth.
