Thank you Mansbridge for loosening the criteria for deliberation to encompass a broader range of talk, but we want to restrict it a little more to political talk that involves taking a deliberative stance: relation to others as equals engaged in the mutual exchange of reasons oriented as if to reaching a shared practical judgment (as interpreted by Chat, common, jointly-owned judgment about what should be done).
“part of the political ideal of deliberative democracy is that its (normative) stability is generated by citizens being able intelligibly to conceive of (adopt a stance towards) themselves as equals engaged in a process of public reasoning oriented to a shared practical judgment, where such a process involves citizens reflectively taking up each other’s standpoints (Owen and Smith 2015, 219).” (“The Oxford handbook of deliberative democracy”, 2018, p. 355)
