You can look at the sea of political discussion on social media and see for yourself.
I very clearly related my own experience. You don’t need to agree with me, and I don’t demand that you do.
If you don’t agree. (and I’m guessing you don’t) I doubt very much that any singular example I link is going to change your mind, and I don’t care enough about changing it to link a bunch of them for you. I frankly don’t know how it’s possible to engage in these sorts of discussions online and not observe this exact phenomenon, though.
my guess is that no one has ever said “both sides are bad. i hope by spreading this message, voter turnout is supressed.” if such a thing has happened, it’s not on me to provide evidence to support your claim. i simply disbelieve your claim, and will not believe it unless i have evidence to the contrary.
the person in question simply refuses to believe the argument, ignoring any evidence given. It is not so much a fallacious tactic in argument as it is a refusal to argue in the proper sense of the word. The method used in this fallacy is either to make assertions with no consideration of objections or to simply dismiss objections by calling them excuses, conjecture, anecdotal, etc. or saying that they are proof of nothing, all without actually demonstrating how the objections fit these terms. It is similar to the ad lapidem fallacy, in which the person rejects all the evidence and logic presented, without providing any evidence or logic that could lead to a different conclusion.

Just chucking fallacies at the wall and seeing what sticks, eh?

Right.
well now that syntax is confusing since you could be agreeing with me or arguing against me.
as an optimist, i’d prefer the former, but it would probably be bad faith on my part to assert that to be the case without confirming it with you.
your accusation is bad faith.
As they say:
garbagebad faith in,garbagebad faith out.another bad faith accusation

I’m OK with that. Also, those weren’t my words. Good day to you.
you didn’t actually make a specific claim about what was said. i would take any evidence that supports your claim.
This is what you’re guilty of invincible ignorance fallacy, or better yet, the argument by pigheadedness.
no evidence has been given
