The statement and accompanying image engage in public discourse by discussing the results of a political poll and making assertions about the qualities of certain political candidates. The tone is critical and somewhat inflammatory, as it accuses unnamed candidates of enabling genocide, being convicted of felonies, and being unable to speak coherently. The intent appears to be to highlight the rise of Jill Stein among Independent voters while disparaging other candidates.
