The idea of free speech perpetuates an exclusive form of democracy- where those that communicate in alternative methods are excluded. Our advocacy is a reformulation of political discourse, to allow inclusive forms.
Driessen 2
The deliberative ideal formulated  …….Instead of leaving things to an elite 

Thus we advocate animal politics as a form of political discourse. Encounters with the non-human are key to expanding our conceptions of participation.

Criticizing liberal humanism allows us to rethink our relationship to marginalized groups
