This BTW is how you involve in the story the reality of what the voters think, which is an important portion of election coverage, while still upholding your basic journalistic responsibility to communicate to people what's actually going on.

>What I say is true.

if it were true, you could provide evidence.

You see, my not producing evidence because of simply being asked for it- does not make what I say untrue. You’d be well served to learn how this works because the real world doesn’t follow the edge-lord internet rules that state “if you don’t provide the evidence I’m entitled to, it means you’re wrong!”

I just don’t entertain bad-faith requests. Nothing more or less.

I’ve told you that I’m not answering you, what part of that are you aging trouble with?

don't be condescending

>You see, my not producing evidence because of simply being asked for it- does not make what I say untrue.

i know that. in fact, i went and provided all the evidence i could about it, which is that it hasn't happened in at least three days, but it's my guess that it's made up entirely.

>“if you don’t provide the evidence I’m entitled to, it means you’re wrong!”

this is a strawman and deeply dishonest. i provided a reasonable method for establishing the veracity of your claim and i was unable to substantiate it.
