So nice of him to take on Che Guevara’s motto “si se puede”.

How come everyone is translating “si se puede” as “yes we can?” Isn’t “puede” the first person active indicative and “se” a singular reflexive pronoun? Wouldn’t “yes we can” in Spanish be “Si, nosotros podemos?” “Si, se puede” would be “Yes, this one can.”
