19. Intent matters ...

... and, if I've misinterpreted your intent, then I apologize.

Since 2000, I've been suspicious of anyone who posts about a Green Party candidate. If a person is posting for informational reasons ("this is what we're up against&quot , then that's useful. But I don't want this site ever to promote the Green Party or its candidates. Jill Stein ran *against* Barack Obama in 2012. Ralph Nader -- well, it's probably better for me not to say anything about that person, I don't want to rehash old arguments.

So, okay, Jill Stein is running for president -- and so is Jeb Bush. I don't want either one of those people.
