Responding to the Nov. 2024 U.S. Election

A philosopher might approach the November 2024 U.S. election by focusing on the ethical responsibilities inherent in democratic participation. From a practical point of view, philosophers say that individuals have a moral obligation to be responsible in the electoral process while observing self-interests and public interests. Such a mindset would lead to contemplation of whether the election processes were noble and whether the citizens were more logical in their choices rather than being parochial to particular political organizations. The philosopher would probably pay more attention to the values of democratic processes and focus more on issues such as truth, equity, and free speech: Responding to the Nov. 2024 U.S. Election.

Another important focus could be on analyzing political language and the politics of truth. A philosopher who adheres to existentialism or critical theory will pick a topic that touches on how the candidates’ mass communication influenced the public’s perception and whether and how such a candidature encouraged an informed dialogue or prejudiced the audience with falsehoods, fear, or appeals to passion. This examination would critically reflect the relationship between media technology and politics and challenge society to refrain from oversimplification and political constructs.

Lastly, a philosopher would consider certain consequences of the election for justice in general and social justice in particular. Depending on the knowledge from the theory of social justice, philosophers might determine if the outcome is just, fair, and disproportionate in favour of minority groups (Ganegoda et al.).

They could wonder how the political system addresses all of the population’s stakeholders or merely perpetuates power imbalances. Rather, this reflection would solicit continued works of citizenship because the democracy project is not a one-time task and voting. Still, it is a daily and tedious job of making institutions fair, just, and merciful to all citizens.
