Summary

Democratic politics is a collective enterprise, not simply because individual votes are counted to determine the winner of an election, but more fundamentally because the individual exercise of democratic citizenship is an interdependent undertaking. Citizens disagree, they argue with one another, they inform one another, and they arrive at political choices and decisions through processes of social interaction and deliberation.
