I am voting for Stein / Ware in November. They and the Green Party represent my values 1000% better than the Republocrats.

@socialiststeve6 3 choices: Genocide, Genocide, and Jill Stein/Green Party with an agenda that actually represents the people

Dear men who exit the bathroom stall and don’t wash your hands (or only rinse briefly with water) - you are disgusting, and I instantly lose all respect for you when I see this.

@Luciuxness Liberals don’t care. They humanize Palestinians because of their skin color and religion.

I cannot, I will not vote for #HolocaustHarris

@jvgraz You only need 3 things to escape Christianity: the Bible (actually read it), a brain, and some courage.

@PaulSorrentino3 Everyone should vote for Stein/Ware, I’m going to

If Kamala Harris loses in November, it won't be because of Jill Stein. It will be because of this:

Christians: I encourage you to open your bible and read it, and be honest about how it contradicts your morals.

In years to come, students in university departments around the world will be studying the propaganda embedded in this headline.

As someone who regularly lectures in sociology, journalism and media studies, I could teach an entire lesson on the title alone.

For example:

1. Treating the 4 Israeli soldiers as more important than the 23 Palestinian children (by leading the story with their deaths and just chucking in the others at the end) implies their lives are of higher value.

2. Infantilizing active duty soldiers as "teenagers" while not emphasizing the age of the schoolkids, despite many of them being demonstrably younger.

3. The classic use of the passive voice: Israelis are "killed" while Palestinians merely "die".

4. Putting scare quotes around "23 die" subtly undermines the credibility of that claim. Maybe no one died, and the Palestinians are just lying?

5. Using the word "attack" for Hezbollah actions, but choosing a more neutral, clinical word like "strike" for Israeli aggression.

6. Allowing Israeli sources to dictate the framing of the story ("Israel names teenage soldiers") etc.

7. Actually naming the Israeli soldiers, but not doing the same for the far greater number of Palestinians, again sends the message to the reader that Palestinian lives don't matter nearly as much, if at all.

It's truly incredible how much propaganda has been packed into 16 words. We are swimming in an ocean of propaganda. That's why it is crucial to deconstruct it and critically assess everything you read, see and hear.

If everybody who agrees with Jill Stein votes for her, she will win.
